This is probably one of the toughest recipes I have ever worked on.

I reworked it six times until I finally  got it right and even now I’m wondering if I should tweak it just a bit more.

First, your brand of tapioca flour really affects the outcome of your baked goods. I cheated on my beloved Bob’s Red Mill and it was like I was working with a completely different animal.

I will not make the same mistake again.

Anyhow, the morning this baby finally came together was a dozy.  We’re gearing up for The Little and Mr. Bejelly’s birthday and we decided to rent a pressure washer  to  clean the deck and pool area and, well, I had my fears because I did not marry a handy man.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses and my husband is “allergic” to machinery and computers.

Like oil and water they do not mix and after that episode, I needed something dark and sweet and chocolaty.

Thank the Universe this recipe for Paleo Brownies finally came together.

A couple of tips:

1. Wait until it cools completely to cut it.  If you cut into it when it’s warm, it will be very crumbly and might not stick together!

2. Use Bob Red Mill’s Tapioca Flour!

  1. Does this have a strong coconut taste? Nobody on my family likes coconut and I’d hate to make these and have nobody eat them. Thanks!
