This grain free brownies recipe made with the nut butter of your choice is perfect for those who are gluten free or Paleo. So rich you will likely be full eating just one!
Blend nut butter of choice, eggs, and maple syrup by pulsing in a food processor (I like this one).
Add vanilla, cocoa or carob powder, sea salt, baking soda, and optional chocolate extract and pulse a few more times to mix thoroughly.
Pour batter into a 9x13 glass baking pan (I like this one) and stir in chocolate chips.
Bake at 350F/177 C for 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into squares and serve.
Substitute an equal amount of carob powder if you prefer to use instead of cocoa powder. If using carob powder, add 2 tsp chocolate extract to the batter. Also substitute carob chips for the optional chocolate chips.
