Fudgy Almond Butter Brownies

-1 Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the egg, almond butter, maple syrup and coconut sugar. *If your almond butter is nearing the end of the jar and isn't smooth, I recommend using a blender for this step so everything gets fully incorporated. 
-1 Add in the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix until well combined. 
-1 Pour into a parchment lined 8 x 8 baking dish and flatten with a spatula. The mixture should be sticky, so wet your spatula to help smoothen it into the pan.
-1 Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. 
-1 Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30 second increments in the microwave for 1- 1 1/2 minutes total. Pour over the brownies and slice into 16 squares. Top with sea salt if desired.
-1 Store in a cool place in an air tight container for up to 1 week.
