Paleo Salted Caramel Brownies

In a medium sized bowl, combine 1/4 cup runny nut butter, 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut sugar, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 1/4 cup melted coconut oil. Combine well. In increments, add in 1/2 cup cacao powder. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup almond flour, and a pinch of salt. Pour the batter into a 9x9 square pan and bake at 325°F for about 25 minutes. While brownies are baking, prepare the caramel: combine 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp nut butter (like granola butter), and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Once the brownies are baked, top them with flakey sea salt and the prepared "caramel" sauce.
