How To Make Awesome Paleo Brownies!

Paleo brownies that are super easy to make, fudgy, and grain, gluten and dairy-free!  Makes the perfect dessert or snack!

Paleo Brownies:

I guess the secret is out.  With several brownie recipes on the site, I cannot hide the fact that I love chocolate and brownies.  This recipe happens to be for dense, fudgy, intense chocolatey brownies.  It is crazy delicious!  Have an event where you need to bring something ... a dinner, cookout, bake sale, etc..?  This is the recipe I recommend. It's easy to make, most will like (who can resist?), and it is portable.

In this recipe, I use raw organic cacao powder (versus the higher processed cocoa powder).  Did you know that raw cacao powder is a good source of antioxidants and magnesium?  Consuming cacao in the form of dark chocolate is said to be heart healthy.  When I chose the chocolate for this recipe, I went with 85% cacao content.  It is probably one of the reasons the brownies came out with such a rich, dense chocolate flavor.

Paleo Brownies With Almond Flour:

Ingredients:

1. organic coconut oil
2. dark chocolate
3. coconut palm sugar
4. maple syrup
5. large eggs
6. unsweetened organic raw cacao powder
7. baking soda
8. sea salt
9. blanched almond flour
10. chopped walnuts (optional as a topping)

Fudgy Paleo Brownies:

These brownies are the rich, decadent treats reminiscent of those you get from bake and dessert shops. Only you can make yourself!

Tips:

• If possible, start with room temperature ingredients.
• And make sure your coconut oil is melted.   The ingredients combine better and make the overall recipe turn out better.  Sometimes when coconut oil is combined with cold ingredients, it solidifies the coconut oil into lumps, which you don't want.

Wishing you success if you try this!  Let me know how you like it. 🙂

Enjoy!
