Notes
To keep these strictly paleo, make your own Paleo dark chocolate.
For the flax egg, whisk together 1 tablespoon flax meal with 2.5 tablespoons water. Let gel for 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened, before using.
Hazelnut flour, sunflower seed flour, and tigernut flour also work. Oat flour can be used, but only use 2/3 cup.
