{eat clean} Brownies

Recipe adapted from: www.thegraciouspantry.com

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 oz.) container almond butter
• 4 egg whites
• 1 cup honey
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (I use Ghiardelli 60% Cacao)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

1) Add each ingredient, in the order listed, to a large mixing bowl, one at a time. Whisk in each ingredient completely before adding the next.

2) Pour into an oiled baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.

NOTE: I roughly chopped the chocolate chips prior to adding them to the batter.  

UPDATE 2013: Since I have been off sugar a lot longer than when I first posted this my taste buds have changed. I made the recipe this time with 2/3 cup honey instead of the full cup. It worked great.  I also make it with two whole eggs instead of 4 egg whites. I also cut down the chocolate by almost half. Make this with dairy free chocolate chips and you have a dairy free treat! Enjoy.
