Paleo Caramel Turtle Browneis

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!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup - dark chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons - coconut oil
  • ½ cup - almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons - cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp - baking soda
  • ½ cup - coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp - vanilla
  • 2 - eggs
  • ½ cup - pecans
  • ⅓ cup - dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup - date syrup
  • 2 teaspoons - coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup - water
  • pinch - sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  5. Meanwhile, make your caramel sauce. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add more water if it’s too thick.
  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.
  7. Pour remaining brownie batter over caramel and pecans and then sprinkle your remaining pecans and chocolate chips on top.
  8. Return to the oven for about 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow brownies to cool completely (about 1-2 hours) before topping with extra caramel sauce if desired.
