Anya, I happened across this grain free brownie recipe and thought about you.

Unbelievably quick and easy to make, these hassle-free brownie bites come together in just 20 minutes. Though they're vegan, grain-free, and Paleo-friendly, you'd never know it from the fudgy texture and rich chocolate flavor.

Double-Chocolate Brownie Bites

Yield: One 8x4-inch pan
Active Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cup cashews, walnuts, or pecans
11 medjool dates, pitted
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 8x4-inch baking tin or loaf pan with parchment paper.

Mix together ground flaxseeds with water in small bowl, and set aside.

Place nuts and dates in bowl of food processor fitted with blade attachment and pulse to roughly combine. Add cacao, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and flaxseed mixture and process thoroughly until ingredients form a homogenous batter. Stir in chopped chocolate.

Scrape batter into prepared tin and bake 10 minutes in oven. Cool completely before cutting into bite-size pieces.
