Cashew Butter Brownies (Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan)

 These fun brownies are chewy and delicious. No flour added to them. It is a great little snack or dessert. No added flour, so they are gluten free. Chia added instead of eggs so they can be vegan if you add vegan chocolate chips.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons of ground chia seeds (Can grind in small coffee grinder)
1/3 cup of water
1 cup of cashew butter
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (Use vegan for vegan option)
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (I like the mini chips)

Instructions  Preheat oven to 350

1. In a small mix together ground chia and water.  Let the mixture start to turn into a gel. Then mix in a mixing bowl or blender, chia mixture, chips, sugar, vanilla, water, baking soda. Until all combined.

2. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour into a greased square pan. (I like cooking in stoneware dishes for best outcome.)

3. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Cool and cut into squares. Makes about 20 squares. Store leftovers in airtight container.
