These Paleo Chocolate Brownies are pretty incredible on their own, but the raspberry sauce takes it to the next level. Healthy & Decadent!
I love a great paleo brownie, but what I love even more? Topping that great brownie with fresh raspberry sauce. Wow! This recipe was from our February menu and these brownies were a hit!
If raspberries are hard for you to find this time of year strawberries would work equally as well in this recipe. You can also use frozen berries but keep in mind more water will be added to your jam so you may need to increase the chia seeds to get the right consistency. Chia seeds absorb the liquid creating a gelatin affect, which is why it's a perfect way to make a quick jam or sauce!
I recommend making the sauce ahead of time and storing in the refrigerator so it's perfectly set when it's time to serve. Plus you want to give it time to completely cool.
These brownies are also very pretty so you can easily serve them at your next dinner party. You don't have to be paleo or gluten free to enjoy…these are amazing and everyone will love them!
