Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies (V, GF, DF): an easy, one bowl recipe for seriously fudgy, super moist paleo brownies bursting with rich chocolate flavor. Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo, Dairy-Free.
What’s your favorite dessert? Like, of all time?
If I had to pick one… well, I couldn’t. Let’s be honest. Oh, alriiiight, if I had to pick, it would be a close call between cookies, nice cream and brownies. And candy. Wait, wait, let’s not forget chocolate muffins (but not all the other muffins because no chocolate is involved).
If you were to ask Erik, he would most definitely say brownies. And cookies. And—oh you know where this is going. But one of the things we agree on the most is our love of brownies. There’s just nothing quite like it.
For us, the perfect brownie is a cross between fudge, cake and straight up chocolate. We like our brownies moist, rich as all get out, and so chocolatey even chocolate couldn’t stand up to those brownies in a chocolate contest.
How about you—do you like your brownies cakey or fudgy? Super rich or just kinda rich? How about your preference on moistness? Super, medium, ultimate? How about topped with amazing homemade paleo chocolate frosting?
Well, I’m totally hoping you just said or thought: seriously fudgy, super duper rich, and ultimate (and deliciously) moist. If you’re nodding your head yes, or your mouth drooled just reading those adjectives, then I have something very special for you…allow me to present:
THE Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies.
So good. So rich. So fudgy. So moist. So all the things your chocolate lovin’ heart could dream of, GOOD. Like, so good that “THE” had to come in front of it.
I mean, how many recipes can you put “THE” in front of, anyway? It’s an honor only to be bestowed upon the best of the best. Kind of like my Best Vegan Brownies. Which, actually, come to think of it, don’t have “THE” in front of the title, but you know what I mean!
Well, it’s been one year and two weeks since I shared my Best Vegan Brownies with you. Since then, it’s gotten a ton of amazing reviews, been Instagrammed like crazy, and become the staple brownie recipe for many folks—vegans and non-vegans alike.
But since then, no paleo brownies recipe has been shared… Since then, I’ve gotten a ton of requests for a paleo brownie recipe…and since then, a year has passed. I know, I know, I totally dropped the ball. I just really wanted to share something spectacular.
I wanted the paleo brownie recipe to taste as close to my best vegan brownies as humanely possible. Wait, wait, did I just write “humanely” possible?
I need a nap. And a brownies. Like a GIANT one.
Dagnabit, did I just write “and a brownies”? Hmm…
As you know, when baking’s involved, nothing is simple. And neither is typing, apparently. So I tested, I begged, I gave dirty looks, then soothing looks, to all of my baking supplies, and got down to business. (I also took a looooong nap.) And I’m pleased to tell you, IT WORKED. I can finally type cohesively!!
And, oh yeah, I created insanely GOOD brownies. You know I know you know what’s coming… the BB bulletpoint list of Why You Should Make These. Ready? Here we go! (Super Mario voice, duh.)
My Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies are:
- divinely rich and indulgent
- so easy to make, in just one bowl
- paleo, vegan, gluten free, dairy-free
- mouthwateringly moist
- perfectly fudgy
- delightfully refined-sugar free
- a Chocolate Lover’s dream come true
- soon to join your favorite paleo desserts & snacks: no bake paleo chocolate almond butter bars, no bake chocolate coconut bars, homemade chunky paleo granola, and paleo coconut macaroons. Nom nom!
- so good, you’ll want to eat the entire pan, all at once
- so inspiring, you might be be able to avoid all the typos I
embarrassinglygraciously included for you in this post (yes, I did just write “be be”) - perfect for the ultimate dessert
- worthy of having a “THE” in the title
I hope you love this recipe as much as Erik and I do. So grab just one bowl, Willy Wonka levels of chocolate love, and your appetite for All Things Chocolate. You ready? Let’s bake this! I can’t wait to hear what you think. In the meantime, tell me…
What’s your favorite way to eat brownies?
- Topped with nice cream or coconut cream
- warm and gooey, fresh out of the oven
- chilled and dense like fudge
- or… something else?
Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤

Your Best Vegan Brownies are my favorite brownie EVER, so how is it possible that you came up with these beauties too?! 😉 Oh man, we might have another contender!!!
You know I LOVE to hear that, Marina! 🙂 If you love super, duper fudgy brownies, then this will be right up your alley! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Loved the recipe! Do you know the nutritional value of one of these brownies?
Hi Charlie! I haven’t calculated it yet. You can try this nutritional calculator: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator Enjoy! 🙂
Hi
Google Paleo fudge brownies nutrition and the information will come up.
🤗
If I could go back in time (to when I wasn’t allergic to cocoa), I would totally say my all time favs were brownies. And classic chocolate chip cookies. And red velvet cake. But now, I would say Bananas Foster, Hummingbird Cake and Soft Batch Snickerdoodle Cookies. Not necessarily in that order though. A smorgasbord of all three would be my vote. But boy would say thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies and brownies. And guess what? He likes his brownies “seriously fudgy, super duper rich, and ultimate (and deliciously) moist”. HOW DID YOU KNOW? I thought you could only read MY mind? I feel like you might be cheating on me here. Hmmmm. We need to chat about this later, mi-lady. ANYWAYS, I sent this link over to Boy at work and he responded “WANT. IMMEDIATELY.” lol. Guess I need to go to the store and get supplies, huh? <3 Pinned!! Cheers, sweeteh! Miss you TONS AND TONS! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Woah… you know I’ve totally got to find a way to make non-cocoa versions of those treats for you now! Omigosh, just reading the list of your faves in making me drool. BIG time. ???? Can you imagine if we combined all three? Woah! LOLOL. There is to be no cheating on you, EVER!! I hope Boy just loves them! Miss you x million. xoxoxoxoxoxooxo
Have you tried carob? The organic Lightly toasted carob from frontier co op has an excellent cocoa alternate type of flavor. Sometime we even add a little beet purée to warm up the carob to a more cacao taste. Sweet potatoe caramel and even shallots produce sweet maltose that can enhance as well. Once My children were delighted to have a chocolate milkshake not knowing it was entirely from vegetables and only a little fruit or carob. Good luck!
That’s such a good idea, Kelly! That chocolate milkshake sounds incredible. I have to try this some time! 🙂
Could you make them with organic carob powder?!
Hi Courtney, I’m not sure since I haven’t tried it. If you do, let me know how it turns out. Good luck! 🙂
OMG these brownies are totally drool-worthy! They really are the ultimate brownies, I can’t tell you how good these look 🙂 My favourite way to eat brownies is warm and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – mmmm! xo
That was exactly the reaction I was hoping for! 😉 Oh wow… just hearing about that scoop of ice cream… YUM! Thanks Marsha! xo
Pick a favorite dessert!?!?! URGH this is like harder than math. Harder than calculus, and let me tell ya that was a struggle???? Normally cake or cupcakes would top my list, but then you mentioned “topped with nice cream”. And then “warm and gooey”. And finally the words “chilled and dense” which made me realize that brownies have SO many delicious sides I can’t help but love them a whole whole lot. Heck I couldn’t even pick a favorite way to eat a brownie between those three???? The gooey-ness is practically jumping off the virtual page here, I’d say you blew this paleo brownie challenge clear out of the water and 1000 feet into the air!! Don’t worry, I’ll catch them on the way back down though???? And that crackly top???? I may not know my fave sweet, but I do know I want a brownie and I want it now!????
YEP! Lolol. You had me cracking up through that entire comment! 😉 Just as long as you catch the brownies on the way down… ???? Brownies, every which way, comin’ up! 😉
These look so yummy! Can’t wait to try them! Is there anything that you can substitute for the almond flour? Carob is a nice substitute for Coco. They even make carob chips.
Hi Tracie! Can you do oat flour at all? If so, this recipe might be a better fit for you: https://beamingbaker.com/gluten-free-vegan-brownies/ Good idea on the Carob–I’ll have to try it some time! 🙂
I just want to say that you are HILARIOUS. I’m guilty of often skimming through the stories behind recipe posts and just drooling over the photos, but you had me laughing out loud. And drooling, of course!
I’m blushing over here! 🙂 We’ve ALL totally skimmed to get to the good stuff! I’m just happy some of my goofy chatter brought laughter into your day! Big hugs to ya, Casey. xo
I’d have to say my favorite dessert isn’t necessarily a baked good (I looove creme brulee and cobblers), but after that, it definitely falls on brownies. Which is weird because I wasn’t the biggest fan of brownies until the last ten years or so. Now, I can’t get enough of them! Especially the fudgy kind, like this. I’m loving how easy this is, Demeter! And just one bowl? Yes, please! I want to inhale that entire stack of gorgeousness. So pretty and looks amazing. Pinning these beauties! Hope you have a great weekend, friend!
Your preferred desserts sound amazing! Especially that cobbler. 🙂 So funny how tastes change like that! Yep, just one bowl away from dessert bliss! Thanks so much for your kind words and for pinning! 🙂
Oh GEEZ these look incredible! Looove the ingredients list, too. The texture looks DANGEROUSLY delicious!
Thank you! So happy you like the ingredients list! 🙂 Hope you get to try. 😉
If I could live off dessert, these brownies would be my breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Oh, and I’d probably have a bite or two as a midnight snack.
Brownies are BY FAR the best dessert! Especially fudge-y, straight out of the oven, topped with nice cream. (Am I allowed to pick that many options??)
Thanks for sharing this heavenly recipe ????
Oh wow! LOVE that plan, Nick! And you amped it up with that midnight snack bite combo! Lol. You’re allowed to pick all the options you’d like! Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Hi there
Can we sub the coconut sugar with raw honey or dates? please reply..
Hi Randy, this might be a bit tricky. I’ve never tried substituting the coconut sugar for raw honey or dates, but here’s what I’d recommend: substitute the coconut sugar with 1/4 cup raw honey, and adjust as needed. You’ll most likely have to experiment a bit to get the right texture. Best of luck!
Or date sugar maybe in place of the coconut sugar? My daughter can’t have coconut sugar, but these look amazing! I also wonder, if I wanted to use real eggs, how many would I use?
That might work! Eggs: two medium eggs. Can’t wait to hear what you and your daughter think! 🙂
I eat paleo but not vegan.. can I just use two regular eggs or do you think that would change taste/texture? Really looking forward to making these!
Hi Amy, that sound be just fine! Enjoy! 🙂
Yum! Can’t wait to try these!
Enjoy!
Wow these look so good! I don’t know which one of your brownie recipes to make beacuase thus all look so good! But one question! Can the cocoa powder be replaced with cacao powder for all of your brownie recipes? Or will there be a problem with the rising because of acidity or whatever? Thank you!
Hi Michelle! Thank you so much. I’d suggest starting with these if you like them super fudgy. If you like the brownies just semi-fudgy, try the Gluten Free Vegan Brownies. Both are very rich and deliciously chocolatey! 🙂 Cocoa vs. Cacao: I think it should be just fine to use them interchangeably. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Okay! Thank you so much! And I love all of your vegan recipes and your photography is amazing!
My pleasure! And thank you so much for the sweet comments. <3 Happy baking!
How about adding some chopped walnuts? What quantity would you suggest?
Hi Becky! 🙂 Try dropping the chocolate chips down to 1/2 cup, then adding in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Try that out and see how you like the ratio. Adjust as needed. Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂
Do you think i could sub cashew butter for the almond butter??
Hi Mary, that should be just fine! Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂
hi, can i substitute the maple syrup with honey? thanks!
Hi Marie, yes you can! Enjoy!
Hello ! First of all, thanks for your amazing recipes. I’d like to try them all hehe
Will start with this one. Can you tell me if I could substitude coconut sugar with xylitol ? And maple syrup with date syrup ? Thank you very much !
Hi Phil! Aw, it’s my pleasure. 🙂 I think subbing coconut sugar with xylitol and maple syrup with date syrup might just work! Let me know how it turns out. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Hi Demeter. Just wanted to let you know I tried the recipe using xylitol and date syrup and it worked super well ! Tastes amazing ! I forgot to take a picture and when I remembered there was almost nothing left hahahah Next time. My friends (vegetarian + non-veg) all approved it too so it’s great ! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Phil, that’s so wonderful to hear! I’ve always wondered about these substitutes. I’m gonna make a note about that. 🙂 Pic: that happens to me ALL the time! Lol. Isn’t it the BEST when non-veg folks love it too? Thanks for reporting back! Can’t wait to hear what you try next!
Yes! It’s a total win when non-veg folks love it 🙂
I warmly recommend xylitol. IMO you don’t feel the difference (some people say it gives a little “fresh” taste but I don’t notice it) and you get a result with a much lower glycemic index. You can also put a bit less xylitol than you’d put sugar so less calories too 😉 For those who are paying attention to their weight, it makes the difference. I’m not following a paleo diet and I guess xylitol is not paleo-compliant though 😉
Let’s see what I’ll try next. Your website is FULL of stuff I want to try ^^
Love that! You’ve totally got me curious about xylitol now. Seriously can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the next recipe(s!!). 😉 Hugs!
Has anyone done nutrition facts for these?
Hi Tashi! I’m in the process of calculating nutrition info for all the recipes on my site. Thanks so much for your patience. 🙂
Hi Demeter,
Could we sub the coconut sugar for unrefined raw sugar? Many thanks! 🙂
Hi Kathleen, I think that should work. 😉 Can’t wait to hear how these turn out! 🙂
Hi Demeter, I’d like to use eggs instead of flax seed. How many eggs would I need?
Hi Linda! You would use two regular eggs. Happy baking!
Hey, thanks for the recipe, is It possible to do it with two real eggs? Thanks!!
Hi Jerome! I think a few readers have made these with real eggs and loved them. Let me know how they turn out! 🙂
Question – What makes these Paleo exactly? Compared to your GF/Vegan Brownies, they have almost ALL of the same ingredients, except oat flour vs almond flour?
Also – in your GF, Vegan version for the flax eggs you put “set for 5 mins”.. did you mean 15 minutes?
Thank you!!
Hi Moe! Yep, my goal was to make those three brownie recipes as similar to each other as possible. After I shared Best Vegan Brownies, a few readers asked for a gluten free version–hence the GF one. Soon thereafter, folks asked for a paleo version. I tried to keep the recipe as similar as possible, while leaving out the non-paleo elements. Long story short–yep, it was the oat flour! Lol. Also, since almond flour absorbs wet ingredients at a different rate, the wet was adjusted as well. 😉
Good catch! I extended the time on that awhile back and forgot to update a few recipes. Enjoy!
How should i adjust the recipe if I only have a 9 inch pan?
Oooh, that might be a bit tricky. If you use a 9-inch the brownies will be just a tad flatter. You can use the recipe as is for thinner brownies, or increase by 25% for about the same thickness intended (bake time may vary a few minutes). Enjoy!
I sub the cocoa powder with carob fairly often and use less sweetener when I sub because carob is naturally sweet. These (and your other brownie recipes) are always a hit with my kiddos! Thanks for your variations of all of our favorite treats!
That’s awesome! I’ve never tried subbing one with the other. Now you’ve got me intrigued. Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know how you and your fam love my treats. Big hugs to you, Dawn. 🙂
Hi, if would this recipe still work if I used regular flour rather than almond flour? If so, how much should I put instead?
Hi Catarina! If you prefer using regular flour, then try my gluten free vegan brownies. You can much more easily replace the gluten free oat flour with regular flour in this recipe! Try a 1:1 substitute and adjust by a tablespoon or so if need be. Happy baking! 🙂
You just saved my two year olds birthday with these bad boys!!! For the first time, I have something to make that everyone will love AND don’t set off his allergies or sensitivities!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also, the test run I did earlier this week were exactly what my 40 weeks pregnant body was crying out for! Thank you!!!!!
That’s so wonderful to hear, Lacey! 🙂 I’m SO happy that you and your son were able to enjoy this allergy-friendly treat. Good luck with the pregnancy!! And tell him I said, “Happy Belated Birthday!!” Sending you big hugs and many virtual warm-plates of brownies! ❤️❤️❤️🍫
These are delicious – I’ve already made them twice! At the weekend I made them and while they were still hot I whipped up a vegan salted caramel sauce (coconut oil + maple syrup + almond butter + sauce) and poured it over the brownies in a tray to set. It was beeeautiful.
I’m so happy that you loved this recipe, Hannah! 🙂 Oh goodness, just the sound of that vegan salted caramel sauce is making me drool big time! I can only imagine how beautiful your brownies must’ve been. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know!
So good!
I made some substitutions that turned out really well: tahini for almond butter and traders joe gluten free flour instead of oat flour.
I tried tons of recipes to recreate what eggs and regular butter used to do.
What brand of cocoa powder do you recommend?
Just made these last night and they are delicious! Fudgy and chocolately! I also loved how easy they were to make and that I already had all the ingredients. I did not miss the dairy or grains one but. Thank you
So happy to hear you enjoyed them, Amanda. 🙂 Dairy & grains: who needs ’em? 😉 Thanks for letting me know how they turned out for you!
Can I substitute the almond flour with coconut flour? Can’t wait to bake them!
Hi Magdalena, unfortunately, no. 🙁 Coconut flour is much, much more absorbent than almond flour. I’ll make a note to work on a coconut flour brownie in the future. Hugs!
My oven recently broke, hello kitchen remodel on the way 😉, so I used my croc pot for these! My husband has decided to focus on a plant based diet with me so I couldn’t say no to trying to satisfy his sweet tooth! I used a large croc pot on low for an hour and a half with the lid on. They were not as fluffy of course do to the pan size difference but they were amazing and most importantly my husband even loved them. (A man who used to hear the word vegan and say “ew no thanks”.)
P.s. I have never left a comment on a blog but my oh my these were so good I couldn’t help myself!
Omigosh, I just LOVE the idea of using a crockpot to make these! 🙂 I’m so pleased to hear that you and your husband loved them. I seriously laughed out loud at his “ew” comment! 😛 He’s so lucky to have you making treats for him. I truly appreciate you stopping by and letting me know your thoughts. Enjoy!
These look marvelous and I’m about to make them right now!!!
Can I use a substitute for the almond flour? Like, oat flour or rice flour??
Thanks Emilia! Yes on the oat flour, but the amounts are different. Here’s the recipe with oat flour: https://beamingbaker.com/gluten-free-vegan-brownies/
Our family devoured these! Delicious!
That’s so wonderful to hear, Amanda! 🙂 Happy baking!
These were so good! My family devoured them! I added baking soda to see if it would effect the rising of the brownies but I don’t think it made a big difference if there was one. Thanks for the recipe!
Yay!!! So happy to hear that, April. 🙂 So interesting to hear the results of the added baking soda. Can’t wait to see what you try next!
What about an AIP version…with no nuts. Can I use cassava flour instead of almond and what would I sub the almond butter for? No seeds or nuts…no sugars, AIP is strict, but not hipeless! I can use xylitol instead of coconut sugar, but the nut butter stumps me…coconut mamba???
Sorry “coconut manna.”
Thanks for the awesome recipe, Demeter! I used 2 extra large eggs, mini chocolate chips and baked in sprayed paper-lined muffin cups, making 12 bigger brownies vs. 16 (because it was 12:36am on the morning of my son’s birthday and I had to get them in the oven). I baked for 23 minutes and they turned out great! Like most almond baked goods, I find even just one serving so satisfying, even though I’m definitely an overeater of sweets. I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes!
Hi Erika, thank you for letting me know how these turned out! I love sneaking almonds into my baked goods for that extra nutrient-rich boost (it’s so filling!) Tell your son I said “Happy Birthday!” Can’t wait to see what you try next. 🙂
These brownies look so fudgy and simply delicious!
They’re SO fudgy and delish!! You’ve got to try them, then let me know how they turn out for you!
These are so good! Made them today and will make them again. My new go to dairy-free, gluten-free sweet treat
Thanks so much, Lisa! So happy to hear that you liked them. 🙂
omg just made these… they are PERFECT. Thank you!!
Woohoo!! I’m so happy you enjoyed them, Chloe. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to let me know! 💕
I’ve been baking vegan for quite a while but new to baking with almond flour. I made them in silicone cupcake liners and got a batch of 14 nice sized brownies. Fresh out of the oven, a little crumbling coming out of the wrapper, but hey they’re still warm, so that’s expected! Delicious. Very rich. Definitely a recipe to make again. Thank you!
Oh yummy! I love the sound of these brownies as bites. 🙂 So happy you enjoyed them, Kels! Thank YOU for stopping by to let me know. 💕
Sorry, these just didn’t do it for our committee. We wanted a vegan, gf brownie to serve at a fundraising tea so I tried this recipe. I served it for the committee and they all said they didn’t like it. One said too much chocolate, another said it just had a strange taste. So, we are looking for other recipes, but my husband said it was delicious and dark just like he likes them.
Hi Demeter, has anyone given you feedback on using avocado instead of the coconut oil?
Hi Yana! I haven’t tried using an avocado before, but I have heard of a few readers using avocado oil. Let me know how it turns out!
Just tried these last night!
I changed a few ingredients due to diet restrictions & not having a few of the ingredients:
1. Used xylitol instead of coconut sugar
2. Used yacon syrup instead of maple syrup
3. Used 2 chicken eggs instead of flax eggs
4. Used carob powder instead of cocoa powder
5. I didn’t measure the chocolate since I didn’t feel like it & wasn’t going to buy more if I didn’t have enough 😂 I had about 5.6 Oz in chopped chocolate though.
I had to cook them a bit longer, & at a higher temp towards the end, but I think that’s because my oven is weak in the heating department right now.
They turned out super fudgy, super rich, and really chocolate-y. They weren’t super dry either or super gooey (like raw gooey) which was great! They were a little dense but not in a bad way, in my opinion. Everybody loved them. Btw, they taste really good warm. They taste good cold too, but I recommend eating them warm!! 😀
Thank you for the recipe, it’s definitely a recipe worth making over and over again!
That’s awesome! I’m glad to hear that you really enjoyed these. It was such a ball to read about your adjustments. 🙂 Happy Baking! 💕
Could I replace the 2 flax eggs with 2 regular eggs? Thank you so much.
Hi Eliza, yes, I think that should work! Let me know how they turn out. 🙂
Made these as directed and they were INCREDIBLE. We used Enjoy Life Mega Chunks and I highly recommend. Soooooo good. Just like “real” brownies- but richer!
Woohoo!! I’m so happy you enjoyed these, Nicole! 🙂 I seriously love those chunks, so I’m guessing they’d be amazing in these! Thanks for reporting back. 💕
Well, I doubled everything since we love brownies in this house and they usually don’t last…BUT they don’t taste so good, more like dark chocolate kinda bitter taste … next time maybe I’ll stuck to the recipe
Looks UH-mazing!!! I need to try these ASAP… Pinned!
Woohoo! Thanks Georgie! Happy baking! 🙂
These paleo brownies are soooo fudgy and delicious. They would be even more perfect if I could get them to have a crisp edge and chewy center!
