Paleo Brownies

I have tried several paleo brownie recipes, and this is BY FAR the best one! They taste just like regular brownies! Here we go...
What you need:

• 1 lb of walnuts
• 1 egg
• 1 c honey
• 1/2 c baking cocoa
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 oz unsweetened dark chocolate, chopped *

What you do: 
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease an 8x8 baking dish.
2. Using a food processor or blender, grind up the walnuts until they are smooth...like this:

If there are a few pieces of walnut that don't get ground up all the way, it's ok...nuts are good in brownies!!

3.In a large bowl, beat an egg. Add in the walnuts, vanilla, and honey. Stir to combine.
4. Add in cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Stir in chopped baking chocolate.
5. Pour batter in greased baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes.
6. Let brownies cool for 10 minutes, cut and eat.

Brownies will puff up in the oven and settle once removed and cooled. They will look like this:

YUM!!

*Recipe Note: If you are feeling less than paleo when making these, or it's a cheat day, you can use 1 oz of baking chocolate and 1 oz of dark chocolate chips!
