Paleo Brownies
These rich and fudgy Paleo Brownies have a perfect crackly top! Just 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep are all you need to make these dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free treats.
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips*
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup almond flour sifted
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Melt coconut oil and chocolate chips together over the stove, stirring frequently until the chocolate is smooth; set aside.
- Add eggs and sugar to a large bowl then whisk continuously for at least 45 seconds. This is *key* to creating the crackly top.
- Next, fold in the sifted almond flour and salt. Since these are gluten free, I recommend doing this by hand rather than with an electric mixer because you don't want to over-mix the batter. Once they're combined, pour in the melted chocolate and again, stir by hand to combine.
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray, then pour the batter into the pan. Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove them from the oven and wait for them to cool before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Notes
*I used Enjoy Life chocolate chips
**Make sure to sift the almond flour before adding it to the batter. The first time I made these I skipped this step and the batter had lumps in it, resulting in the brownies having lumps in them (they still tasted great though!)
Substitutions:
- Use cane sugar instead of coconut sugar, but only if you don't need these brownies to be paleo because cane sugar isn't paleo-friendly (but it will work in this recipe).
- If you don't like coconut oil/any sort of coconut flavor, use avocado oil instead.
