Paleo Caramel Turtle Browneis
These are no ordinary brownies. They have all the qualities I love about a brownie: crispy edges, a soft warm and gooey center and dark chocolate throughout. They’re not cakey (who even likes cakey brownies anyway?) but they’re super fudgy instead. Unlike traditional brownies, these have a caramel layer in the middle and they also have pecans and chocolate chips throughout. They are smooth and creamy but the pecans add a nice crunch. Once you make these, it’ll be impossible to go back to normal brownies!

Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Step 2
In a microwaveable bowl, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips with 4 TBL coconut oil in 30 second increments, stopping to stir in between.
- Step 3
In a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid, add melted chocolate. Stir in coconut sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Once smooth, add in almond flour, cocoa powder and baking soda.
- Step 4
Pour half of the brownie mixture into the baking pan. Set aside remaining batter. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until just barely set in the middle.
- Step 5
Meanwhile, make your caramel sauce. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add more water if it’s too thick.
- Step 6
Once brownies have just set, remove from oven. Pour caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with 1/4 cup pecans and 2 TBL chocolate chips.
- Step 7
Pour remaining brownie batter over caramel and pecans and then sprinkle your remaining pecans and chocolate chips on top.
- Step 8
Return to the oven for about 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Step 9
Allow brownies to cool completely (about 1-2 hours) before topping with extra caramel sauce if desired.
