Without a doubt, these Paleo Fudgy Brownies are my new favorite brownies. They are fudgy and chocolaty in the most perfect way. Being flourless means they are grain and gluten free as well, as ground almonds stand in for the flour. I replaced the EVOO from the original recipe with coconut oil as a healthy fat and it worked perfectly. Additionally, these fudgy brownies are vegan. Rich, moist and easy to make, they may just become your new favorite brownie as well!

The recipe calls for two egg whites to be whipped to medium peaks. You can do this while you are blending the other ingredients in the food processor or you can do this after you have your chocolate mixture all ready to go. I like to set up the egg whites whipping (before I start the chocolate mixture) and then I can check on them every minute or so to see how they are coming. Then once the chocolate mixture is blended, the egg whites are usually ready and can be combined with the chocolate mixture pronto. Then into the oven for 30 minutes. I have to admit I usually eat one warm out of the oven. Just to make sure everything is okay of course!

I hope you will try these brownies and let me know if you do!

Do you prefer cake like brownies or fudgy brownies?
