Easy Paleo Brownies (Gluten Free, Grain Free, Garbage Free)

Easy Paleo Brownies (Gluten Free, Grain Free, Garbage Free)

Do you love brownies, but avoid it because you think it’s not good for you?  Fear no more! You can eat it once in a while… Here’s an easy recipe for making brownies with healthier ingredients – in fact, they are paleo brownies!

I would like to add one thing before we start though.  This is brownie like you imagine it! It’s almost more like a chocolate cake.  Well, no that’s not totally true.  It might be more like if a chocolate cake and a brownie got together and made some brownie chocolate cake babies.  Anyway, just wanted to let you know that before you start it and are confused!  🙂

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup almond flour/meal
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil (if going dairy free)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup of honey
  • Chocolate chips(optional)

Instructions

0.  Preheat oven to 350 ºF.
1.  In a large bowl, mix your almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt together.
2.  If your butter is still in its solid state, throw it in a smaller bowl and heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds.
3.  Mix your liquid ingredients together:  Eggs, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
4.  Pour this liquid mixture into previous dry mixture, and mix it all together well.  You can use a hand mixer like I did to speed things up!
5.  (Optional) If you want to have chocolate chips, you can add it to this mix too.  I couldn’t make up my mind on the chocolate chips so I added it at the very end after I had already put the brownie mix in the pan.
6.  Now grab a 8×8 baking dish, and pour the brownie mixture in it.

6.  Bake this for about 30-40 minutes.  It kind of depends on your oven how long exactly, but a good way to check is to poke it with a toothpick.  If the toothpick comes out clean (it’s okay if there’s a few crumbs) then you’re good.
7.  Let it completely cool down before cutting it in to your desirable brownie sizes.  And then you get ready to shove your face!

I loved the slightly crisp top and moist center! I am watching my sweets intake for candida so I subbed 1/3 c. coconut milk and stevia extract for the honey. Works great! Topped with unsweetened shredded coconut and pecan pieces! Yum, thanks for an easy recipe!

Hello from Brazil! I am really glad I`ve found this recipe! Many of the recipes include coconut flour and I am not a big fan. Just made my first brownies using your ideas and it turned out beautiful and delicious! :) Have a beautiful weekend.
