Chocolate Almond Fudge Brownies
(Gluten-Free & Paleo)
After a solid week of mountain biking in the desert, it’s nice to be back in my kitchen.
I’ve only made it to one crossfit workout this week, I guess partly for lack of energy, early morning darkness, and the fact that my transportation is still dismantled with two cactus punctured tires.
These Chocolate Almond Fudge Brownies were my main project today and made up most of my calorie intake.
Back at it tomorrow!
Chocolate Almond Fudge Brownies
(Gluten-Free & Paleo)

-
Place pan on middle oven rack and bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes until top is no longer sticky and has a thin crust.

Let cool completely before serving. ENJOY!
When shopping for ingredients, I try and stick to the 'Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen' rule when it comes to buying organic fruits and vegetables. I have listed all ingredients simply by name, and have left off words such as "organic", "grass fed", "free-run" etc. I encourage you to do your own research and consume what works best for you.
