Almond Flour Brownies

This recipe is from Bob's Red Mill (a company that is worker owned and has really great grains). It is actually pretty similar to the standard brownie recipe that I use fairly often. I would definitely make it again since almonds and chocolate are delicous. The only picture I have of these brownies is just a little corner of them because when I came home from work one day, that's all that was left. Nick and Brittany...

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
1 cup granulated cane sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp corn starch
1/2 cup almond meal/flour (got mine from Trader Joe's)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp dried lavender flowers (just because I couldn't resist throwing these in)
1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Mix the dry ingredients including the lavender in a mixing bowl. Then mix the butter, eggs, water, and sugar together. Then add the almond extract. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking until no lumps remain. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until a toothpick can be inserted into the center and come out clean.
