I had the biggest craving for something chocolatey and kind of cakey and I found this recipe for a lovely healthier brownie alternative!
So these lovely squares are not sweet at all. Funny story... So my Mother was hovering while I was making these and she cringed when she saw I was going to use 1/4 cup of honey. Because of the Granola bars I made last time that were too sweet, she suggested to do half sweet first. Nevertheless, once they were out of the oven, did not have enough sweetness hahahaha. Also, because I just started using coconut flour, John, my Mother and I were debating whether or not they were just A BIT dry or that was the texture the coconut flour created. Nonetheless I enjoy them!
Finally got to pull out my Disney measuring cups that I got over the New Year and got to experiment with unpasteurized honey!
Also, I did not want to use up my entire jar of almond butter, so I used a small avocado to fill out the rest.
Recipe By What's That Smell?
