Paleo Fudgy Brownies
These brownies are seriously dangerous. They’re too good. I swear, neither one of us could tell the difference between these and “conventional” brownies–except for the fact these don’t make you feel like poo after you eat them. I made 2 batches in two days and….they’re all gone. Oops.
Besides the fact that these are completely gluten free; you could leave out the sugar in the brownies and be almost 100% Paleo. Try and find chocolate chips with the highest percentage of cocoa. The higher the percentage the less sugar in the chocolate. If you can’t find a good quality chocolate chip, you could always chop up a chocolate bar instead.
Ingredients
- 1 c almond butter
- 1/2 c canned coconut milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 t vanilla extract
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/3 c cocoa powder
- 1/4 c sugar (optional or sweetener of choice)
- 1/3 c chocolate chips (use the highest % cocoa you can find, around 70% is good)
- 1/3 c chopped nuts
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 x 8 baking dish.
In a bowl whisk together the almond butter, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Then add the cocoa powder, sugar, and chocolate chips.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with chopped nuts.
Bake for approx. 18 minutes.


























I made these for my husband to take to a work gathering today. They were a HUGE hit…and these people are not healthy eaters. In other words, they tasted like a “real” dessert.
Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Can you use normal butter instead of almond butter? -i can’t find almond b. in my area.Thanks
Almond butter is like peanut butter…should be next to that at the store.
Or make your own. Almonds + food processor.
I meant if you could substitute it with something else? – No almond butter in romania.
