Recipe Tips
- If you are not a fan of almond flour or do not have any lying around, you can swap it for coconut flour. I would use about two and a half tablespoons of coconut flour as a replacement.
- Baking powder is not precisely paleo-friendly, but the amount we need is minimal. You can attempt to make the paleo brownies without this, but I would not recommend it.
- Depending on where you live in the world, sweet potato can also be referred to as kumara.
- These brownies are probably on the verge of not being sweet enough. If you love your brownies sweet, then I recommend increasing the amount of honey you use. Just keep in mind that even though honey is paleo-friendly, it is still recommended you do not go overboard with it.
