I decided to make a small treat for myself tonight but I wanted it to be healthy and part of the Primal diet.  To the ‘net I went in search of the perfect primal treat. I came upon thisprimallife.com and this Almond Butter Pumpkin Brownie recipe.

The recipe itself is incredibly easy to make assuming you have all the ingredients. I did not. So at lunch today I headed to my local Hyvee and picked up some Almond Butter and pumpkin mix.  Cost was about 6 dollars for both. The other ingredients I had on hand.  Here is how you make them.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond butter
• ¾ cup mashed pumpkin
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tsp baking soda

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Mix well.  Pour into a greased 8 x 8 ( I used 9×9) in pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Serves 8.

Upon first taste I felt they were a tad dry but overall the taste was really good.  I quickly thought of other things to add that might entice the flavor ( I am thinking some dark chocolate chunks).

Its great recipes like this that will help me to stick to my new primal lifestyle.
