These Paleo brownies are delicious! You’ll love the chocolate cherry in the brownies. Super moist and packed with flavor, you won’t even miss the processed flour, sugar, and dairy ingredients found in more traditional recipes.
For this paleo brownies version, you can use either fresh or frozen cherries. If you use frozen cherries, be sure to let them thaw completely at room temperature. Once they are fully dethawed, you can chop and add to the batter.
You can also collect the cherry juice while they are thawing and addit to the batter as well. You will need to increase the cooking time by several minutes to account for the extra moisture.
