Fudgy Peppermint Brownies (paleo/gf/df option*)

1. preheat oven to 350°F. line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. in a large bowl, mix together butter, coconut sugar, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. add in eggs one at a time, mixing after each one.
3. sift in almond flour, dutch cocoa powder, and salt. fold in chocolate chips.
4. pour batter into the baking dish.
5. bake for 15-20 minutes or until center is still slightly jiggly. make sure not to overbake as brownies will continue to firm up as they cool.
