Making Paleo Brownies has always been a tall order. No flour, no white or brown sugar and no semi-sweet baker’s chocolate. How do you make crack without crack ? Luckily, with a few substitutions we were able to bring together a perfectly delectable paleo brownie recipe that I’m sure you will enjoy.

What Makes These Brownies Paleo ?

Rather than writing an essay on the true meaning of paleo, let me just give you a breakdown of the ingredients we have used.

  • Almond flour or almond meal: This is our all-purpose flour replacement. This flour is essentially the result of finely grinding almonds. It works very well as a flour substitute and unlike APF, almond flour is packed with fiber, protein and all other sorts of nutritional goodies. Why almond flour is better than most other flours.
  • Cocoa Powder: the absolute best choice for baking is Dutch processed, or Dutch-style cocoa. This kind of cocoa usually contains a higher amount of natural fat (the good kind) and usually come for higher quality cacao beans. Read more.
  • Coconut Sugar: this is the perfect paleo replacement for brown or white sugar. It is technically a better replacement as it contains more minerals than regular sugar. However this is still sugar and therefore is still to be consumed in moderation or as a treat.
  • Maple Syrup: this is another paleo sweetener. We use maple syrup in tandem with coconut sugar as it provides a nice depth of flavor and helps us with the consistency of the brownie batter.
  • Almond milk: it helps lighten up the batter a little. You can also use any other kind of paleo-friendly milk alternatives.
  • Sea Salt and chocolate work so well together as the first enhances the flavor of the later. Trust me, when baking, you always want to add a pinch of salt.
  • Coconut oil is perfect butter substitute. It has the same melting temperature as butter, and provides a lot of healthy natural fats. Having a high enough fat content is important in baking since it helps keep whatever it is you are making nice and moist.
  • Eggs: we use eggs for two reasons. Number one, they are a great binder as once cooked they provide the structure and firmness needed. Number two, beating the eggs with the sugar incorporates a lot of air into the batter which ends ups creating that nice crackely top that we all love.

  1. Crack the eggs in a large bowl, add in the coconut sugar, maple syrup, & salt. Beat for 30 seconds with a hand-mixer. The hand-mixer is recommended because it makes the mixture very light.
  2. Add in the cacao powder and incorporate with the hand-mixer turned off, at first, to avoid a mess. Then beat with the hand-mixer for 1 minute. Add melted coconut oil and incorporate to the mixture, mixing manually at first and then beat for 30 seconds. Add almond flour, mix manually and then beat for another 30 seconds. 
  3. Add almond flour, mix manually and then beat for another 30 seconds. Add in almond milk and beat for another 15 seconds or until well combined.
  4. In a 8×8″ square cake pan, cut a sheet of parchment paper to cover and pour in your batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow your brownies to cool down for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve with a drizzle of melted paleo-friendly chocolate or simply with drizzle of sea salt.
