- In a small bowl, beat together the cherries, eggs and almond extract
- Add the melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients and blend for about 10 seconds on low
- Add the wet mixture and blend on low until it creates a fudge-like batter
- Fill the brownie pan about ½ way on each

- Allow the brownies to cool, and then take them out of the pan
- Meanwhile, blend together all ingredients for the sauce
- Pour the desired amount of sauce over your brownie, serve and enjoy
Makes enough sauce for about 2-3 people.
Makes 12 brownies. Brownies can be frozen to save for a later date as well.
