These Nut Butter Brownies are an old friend. I grew up making these brownies as a kid, they were one of my favorites. I was so happy when I figured out a way last month to adjust them and make a Paleo version. They are a family favorite!

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare your 9x13 by lining it with foil and spraying it with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.u00a0
In a large bowl, combine the nut butter, ghee or oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the baking powder, salt, and flour. Stir until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.u00a0
Spread batter into prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.u00a0
Bake in oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and run a knife through the batter, forming a marble pattern and spreading the chocolate throughout. Bake another 30 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Notes

**I try to minimize my children's sugar intake, even Paleo sugars. This recipe works with just 1 cup coconut sugar. However, if I am taking these somewhere or sharing them with those who eat more of the standard American diet, I will often use the full 1 1/2 cups of sugar,..We love these with peanut butter, but they also work with other nut butters or sun-butter for a nut-free option!
