These Paleo Blonde Brownies are the most decadent and gooey treat. You should probably eat them a small square at a time (the best way to do that is to share with many as your self-control will be tested otherwise). Added bonus: these brownies freeze really well!

Ingredients

almond flour		1 ½ cup
coconut sugar		¾ cup
cream of tartar		1 tsp
baking soda		½ tsp
sea salt		¼ tsp
tahini (mixed to ensure it is runny)		¾ cup
eggs (*see recipe notes for flax egg substitute)		2
vanilla extract		1 tsp
chocolate chips*		½ cup

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt together in a bowl.
In a separate, larger bowl, mix together the eggs, tahini, and vanilla extract (be sure to whip this well!).
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Stir in the chocolate pieces and then transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Wet your fingers with a bit of water and press down evenly (the batter will be thick).
Bake for 20-24 minutes (depending on your oven) resisting the urge to open the oven while it bakes before the 20-minute mark. These brownies will cave if under-baked. They will still be delicious and gooey, but I prefer when they hold their shape a bit better with a slightly longer bake time.
Gently remove from oven and cool in the baking pan before cutting.
Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes:

I like to use Enjoy Life chocolate chips (dark chocolate), but I have also been known to chop up dark (75% cocoa or higher) chocolate bars for this recipe and that turns out amazing as well!
‘Flax eggs’ make a wonderful substitute for eggs in this recipe. Instead of 2 eggs, simply mix 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds with 5 tbsp of water and let sit for 5 minutes.
