DISCLAIMER: I am typing this post at the end of a 24 Hour duty in which I have not slept yet, this post will probably consist of broken English, discontinuous sentences, and lots of run-ons because I am too tired to punctuate. And since I am sure there is some law or rule or recommended practice of not blogging while incoherent I will keep it brief. Oh yea, and this recipe completely pushes the envelope of “Paleo”, it is more of a grain free treat and should be made, and eaten, in moderation.
So I honestly made this recipe so I could showcase one of the most amazing People I know. I mean I know a lot of amazing people thanks to having this website and being in the Paleo community, but one stands out above the rest and she needs to be recognized. Her name is Mee and she is the genius behind Mee Nut Butter (which if you haven’t noticed is the basis of this recipe). And before you moan and complain that these are by far the most expensive brownies you will ever make, understand MeeNut Butter is like Paleo Crack, and the price is well worth it. But none the less, you can always substitute almond butter. But back to Mee, I had the pleasure of meeting her last year at a competition and I have loved her since. Her bubbly personality and smile that is double the size of her compact frame lights up everybody’s day. She is such a giving and caring person, I kinda wish I could kidnap her and keep her to myself. But I know that isn’t fair, so I will share her with all of you. She is the creator, maker, packager, shipper, and customer service department all in one for her product, and works harder than most I know. I just want her effort to be recognized and appreciated, so when you guys order your Mee Nut Butter HERE, know that an overwhelming amount of Mee’s personal love and dedication goes into every jar you get. All those links go to her product and you can go love her on Facebook and Twitter too. Love you Mee!!!!!!!

Made these tonight with hazelnut butter (last minute decision) for a Christmas party, tried one while plateing, amazing
Oh that sounds amazing
The. Best. Brownies. I have. EVER. Made.!
I’ve been trying for about a year now to make my own brownies, and have them be comparable to the box brands(aside from the nasty chemicals..). They would always turn out more ‘cake-like’, which I DON’T like in a brownie. This totally satisfies it! I just can’t believe that there is NO flour at all in this! Thank you!
Someone shared your blog today, and we’ve been wondering what all this hype is about Paleo. Yes, I still have lots to learn, teach me please! ;)
I love it :) I hope you try many more of my recipes. And the best way to learn about paleo is the book practical paleo
Meenut butter sounds really cool – thanks for introducing it to me!
Your welcome. It’s amazing
Yum! This looks like a great recipe!
Tastes evn better
Tastes evn better
This looks great & I can’t wait to try it. After you’ve gotten some sleep you might want to reread the instructions & ingredients because they don’t match. Not a criticism, just thought it would be easier to follow after you fix it. You know I loove what you are doing on this blog since I’m on it all the time. Keep up the great work cause we love your recipes at my house.
Thank you so much for the catch, I was quite sleep deprived lol. Was it just the agave that was out of place lol
These look so good! I pinned them.
Mmmmmmmm….. I think I just drooled on myself.
Now make them and you can drool on them
Dear Caveman, You are the best! Thanks so much for your kind words! I am so grateful for you and am so blessed to have met you that day! The only thing that could make this day sweeter is if I lived close enough to eat those brownies you made ;) Love, Mee Eat Paleo
We are both blessed cause I love you. And yes that would be awesome if we were neighbors, then I could help you.
you’ve been helping me this whole time! ♥
