brownies bites!
This is my first adventure into paleo desserts. I haven't tried them in the past because I thought they were just a waste of time. And if I wanted a brownie I would have one on the weekend my "paleo free" time! Now that I'm doing this paleo challenge I've had to get creative. So here is my second attempt on these brownies.
The first attempt was some what of a failure, I think I let the brownies cook for too long. It's hard to tell because they don't rise or change color. The recipe does call for them to bake for 20-25 minutes. I baked them for 15 and I thought they were a little dry. Today I made a new batch and I baked them for 10 minutes. When I pulled them out they were baked on the outside shell and still gooey on the inside. I let them cool and they were much better this time around!
Another thing I did was add some small overripe strawberry chunks to half the batter (I didn't want to ruin the whole batch if this experiment failed). This gave a little sweeter kick to each bite. So now for the questions are they as good as a traditional brownie. NO. Don't serve these to your kids and expect them not to notice. Are they good? Yes! Right now she sweetest part of my day is my fish oil so this will be a welcomed addition.
The recipe calls for melted chocolate chips. For my paleo challenge chocolate is not allowed so I had to use cocoa powder. If you follow the recipe maybe yours will be sweeter, I'm not sure. I think I will continue to experiment with different fruits in this brownie. Maybe I can add my overripe bananas to the next batch!
Please let me know if you have any questions (or suggestions)!
