Almond Flour
Brownies
Simple Mills founder Katlin Smith started
following a gluten- and additive-free diet
to alleviate years of aches and pains and
fatigue. When she couldn’t find any
baking mixes to suit her eating habits,
she developed her own. Her line includes
sprouted crackers, organic frostings,
baking mixes, and Almond Flour Brownies,
which just launched. These luscious
chocolate brownies are made with almond
flour, arrowroot, organic coconut sugar,
organic coconut flour, cream of tartar,
baking soda, and sea salt. On a Paleo diet?
Make this your go-to sweet treat.
