HEB Almond Flour Brownies

  Continuing with the HEB desert theme I tried my hand at making almond flour brownies.  Warning before hand, I do not like almond flour nor do I like almonds in my brownies but this was in the cupboard and I had the ingredients se here we are.  I've made many brownies before. You know the type, straight out of the box, just add oil and water.  So I figured that this would be an easy undertaking.  in a sense it was but the results were humbling.

Step 1: (the mix looks a little chunky from the coconut oil pieces that I could not flatten out) Step 2: Step 3: The large white chunks are the large pieces of coconut oil that I could not flatten :) Final product! (I stupidly forgot to take a picture of all the cookies completed on the tray but I have a picture of
