Mini Paleo Chocolate Chip Brownie Cupcakes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar, or date , maple sugar
  • 3 tbsp. ground golden flaxseed meal
  • 2 to 4 tbsp. cold water to mix with flax, make a loose paste. Add more water if needed.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, I used Lily’s Stevia Sweetened or Enjoy Life

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease or spray a mini muffin pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, melted coconut oil, honey flax paste and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk to break up any clumps.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Make sure no dry ingredients are on the bottom.  Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into mini muffin pan, bake for about 10 minutes. Try not to over bake. Test with a tooth pick or wooden skewer, moist crumbs means they are done. Try not to over back. Also, the brownies should slightly spring back when touched.
  6. Cool for about 15 minutes on wire rack. They taste better when cooled.  Keep stored on counter in covered container for only up to 1 day or in fridge up to 3 days.

ENJOY!
