"Cocoa Butter Brownies
4 Tbls. melted butter or coconut oil (or 2 Tbls. each)
¼ cup melted cocoa butter (caveat: I don’t measure this, I just cut a hunk and throw in the bowl to melt! It looks to be about ¼ cup when it is liquid)
4 eggs
1 cup honey
16 oz. nut butter (I like cashew butter)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbls. vanilla extract
Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 340*F

Line 2 muffin pans with paper liners (about 18-20) or grease 2) 8”x8” pans
In a large bowl, melt together the butter, coconut oil & cocoa butter. Add the remaining ingredients and, using an electric mixer, or food processor, mix well until batter is smooth & shiny. If using chopped nuts, mix in by hand. Fill muffin pans 2/3 full, or pour batter into the 2 8x8” pans.
Bake 18 – 20 minutes for muffins or 20 – 25 minutes for the 8x8” pans. Do not over bake or they will be dry.
The muffins rise nicely when baking, but fall once cooled. And remember, the chocolately taste is subtle, but there." (Quoted from Digestive Wellness)

I used 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and a hunk of cocoa butter that I bought from the Digestive Wellness Store. I used one cup of cashew butter and 1 cup of almond butter. The 365 brand appeared legal. I am trying to cut back on my cashew butter because I read Nourishing Traditions that it has an unbalanced amount of lysine as do many legumes. The consequences of this I have not looked up yet, but will look it up in the future.
