Haven't tried these yet either, mostly because I need to track down the flax seed meal. If you don't use the butter then they are more paleo.

Just Plain Wrong Brownies
(from George Mounce, Crossfit.com)

Ingredients:
6 oz unsalted butter – cut into 1 oz squares (you can sub 2 1/2 cups of flax meal for this..plan on about twice the fiber and protein per bar and lower saturated fat)
3/4 cup flax seed meal
1 cup honey
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (2/3 cup)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp boiling water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Take some of the butter and lightly coat a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish.

In one large bowl, mix together flax meal, salt, buckwheat flour and walnuts. Beat eggs in a separate large bowl.

Place chopped chocolate in a third glass or metal bowl over boiling water to melt (if you have a double boiler this is what you use it for). When chocolate is roughly half melted, add honey, cocoa powder, butter, and vanilla and continue to slowly stir until all of the chocolate is melted. Remove chocolate from heat and pour half into the beaten eggs while stirring the eggs to temper them. Once this is fully mixed, add the rest of the chocolate to the eggs and continue to stir until a smooth consistency. Pour the new chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Time is now important, as the flax will begin to soak up the wet ingredients, once the batter is fully mixed you want to have it in the oven within the next 3 minutes. Dissolve the baking soda in the 2 tbsp of boiling water and pour over the brownie batter. Quickly stir and spread out batter in the prepared baking dish. Bake about 25 minutes, just until brownies test moist but not wet (can be checked by placing a toothpick into the brownies, if it is clean, they are done). Cool completely before cutting. Cut into 24 brownies.
