Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Make sure your oven rack is in the upper third of the oven. Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the olive oil and chocolate chips. Microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well after each time in the microwave. It took about 1 minute for my chocolate to melt this way. Add the coconut sugar and vanilla, and whisk.
Let the chocolate mixture cool a bit, and then add one egg and whisk until well mixed. Add the second egg, and whisk. Then add the third egg and whisk. The mixture should thicken by this point.
In another bowl, add the flour, baking soda and salt, and mix.
Then, pour the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture, and mix well. Pour the brownie mixture into the pan and set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the 2 Tbs honey, ¼ cup almond butter, ¼ tsp salt and ½ tsp vanilla and mix.
Then, spoon the almond butter mixture and the jam on top of the brownie batter in the pan. There should by clumps of each on top. Use a knife to swirl the jam and almond butter together.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a tooth pick comes out clean.

Instead of coconut sugar, you can use white sugar ( but it will no longer be Paleo).
