Pumpkin Brownies

OK, so I didn't get the pumpkin cheesecake recipe done like I had planned but, thanks to Larry, and http://www.thisprimallife.com/, I have something else that's a little festive. I tried the original recipe as written on the primal website, added 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger, and Toby and the kids liked it fine. I think if you take out 1/2 of the almond butter and add pureed carrots and a little more nutmeg it would have a better texture, you could remove the honey, and maybe add some raisins. Give it a try, play around with it, post your thoughts, trys and so on in the comments sections. (If this comment section isn't up and running post on todays WOD post on the main page.)

INGREDIENTS: (as I made it)
1 C almond butter
1 egg
3/4 C pumpkin
1/2 C melted butter
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves

Mix all ingredients together until smooth. (It will look like peanut butter), make sure all butter lumps are blended in well.


















Pour into a greased 9X9 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until toothepick comes out clean. Let the dish full cool before trying to remove the brownie.
