Chocolate Chip Brownies

These are so yummy and to me taste way better than traditional wheat flour brownies. The moisture from almond flour and apple sauce makes it so moist. I took a recipe from Elana’s Almond Flour Cook Book http://www.elanaspantry.com/ and made it a little different by using less sugar and less oil and replacing it with apple sauce. I know its summer time and maybe baking seems to be the last thing on your mind but, baking them early in the morning when the temperatures are cool makes it easy to get around the heat. Also these taste so good frozen and added to your favorite ice cream!
