Brownies

I needed something quick for a work function, so I started looking for some brownie ideas.... I found some strange things out there, but one idea I really liked was the use of nut butters. So here is a new spin on the classic brownie (gluten free of course!)

1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 c olive oil
2 large eggs (or substitute)
2 Tbsp almond butter
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c tapioca flour
1/2 c brown rice flour
2-4 Tbsp almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1/2 c milk choc chips (or any flavor)

Combine cocoa and oil. Whisk eggs, almond butter and vanilla, add sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add flours and milk. Stir in choc chips. Lightly grease 8x8 pan.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes
