Welcome to the ULTIMATE Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies Recipe. Yep, the ultimate. Or, should I say the best paleo brownies recipe EVER?

If you’ve tried my favorite paleo vegan brownie recipe of all-time, you’ll know what I’m talking about—this fudgy paleo brownies recipe yields rich, ultra-moist chocolate brownies that are dense and rich, with deep chocolate flavor.

Looking for a lighter intro to this recipe? I don’t have it. 😉 My easy, easy, easy paleo chocolate brownie recipe is deep, dark and satisfying. Chocolate lovers, gather ‘round, we’re about to make your ultimate chocolate fantasies come true.

THE Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies

What makes these easy paleo brownies the ultimate fudgy paleo vegan brownies? More ultimate than even my fudgy vegan peanut butter swirl brownies? Well, they’re so fudgy that they’re tip-toeing on the borderline of gooey, unbaked brownie delight. Yes, they’re still fully-baked, but without any trace of cakeiness, no trace of a dry crumb in sight. Looking for ultra-moist fudgy paleo brownies? You’ve come to the right place.

Simple Ingredients for Paleo Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Better yet, the best fudgy paleo brownies of all time are made with simple, whole ingredients that you can feel good about. Yep, these easy fudgy brownies are paleo-friendly and vegan. 

Almond Butter: this is my key ingredient to making the best fudgy paleo vegan brownies. Years ago, when I developed this recipe, all the paleo brownie recipes I saw online were packed with tons of oil—and not a lick of almond butter in sight. One day, while I was working on my Best Vegan Brownies recipe & my Vegan Gluten Free Brownies recipe, I realized that almond butter could add healthy fats, pump up the rich, fudgy texture, and decrease the amount of oil in my soon-to-be ultimate fudgy paleo vegan brownies recipe.

Raw Cacao Powder: one of my favorite nutrient-rich ingredients to use in paleo baking. Just compare the nutritional stats of raw cacao powder versus traditional unsweetened cocoa powder; you’d be amazed at the difference. Raw cacao packs a healthy punch of antioxidants, calcium and minerals.

Almond Flour: in order to keep my paleo chocolate brownies recipe grain-free, I turned to one of my favorite ingredients for keeping recipes moist—almond flour. Almond flour does something magical in paleo baked goods: it adds a dry element to balance out wet ingredients, while holding those wet ingredients so well. Result: super moist baked goods.

Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar, Flaxseed: my go-to ingredients to keep paleo + vegan treat recipes whole, refined sugar-free, and packed with healthy fats.

The Taste of this Fudgy Paleo Brownie Recipe

How does this fudgy paleo chocolate brownie recipe taste? Allow me to describe. 🙂 These ultra-moist brownies are bursting with rich, deep chocolate flavor. Every bite is dense and rich, meant to be savored and appreciated. The interior of every brownie is fudgy, gooey and packed with warm ‘n melty chocolate goodness.

How to Store Your Easy Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies

For Super Soft, Fudgy Paleo Brownies: store your paleo brownies in an airtight container at room temperature, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Keep for 1-2 weeks.

For Firmer Fudgy Paleo Brownies: store your paleo brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The brownies are much firmer, but still fudgy—kind of like a thick, dense square of paleo fudge.

Tip for Super Fudgy Paleo Brownies: to revive your paleo brownies on Day 2-Day 14, heat for about 5-10 seconds in the microwave, just until warm. The brownies will turn ultra-moist and gooey, just like you grabbed them fresh from the oven.

Recommended Tools for the Best Fudgy Paleo Brownies

  • 8-inch Square Baking Pan: I cannot even tell you how many times I’ve used these pans to make paleo brownies, and so many more vegan recipes. They’re sturdy, strong, and produce excellent results. I just love ’em!
  • My Favorite Kitchen Timer: I’ve used a lot of kitchen timers before, and this one beats them all hands down. You can set 4 timers at once, and it has a little dry erase board so you can label each one.
  • Paleo Chocolate Bars or Paleo Chocolate Chunks: Not just for snacking on while baking paleo brownies, this refined sugar-free chocolate is a key ingredient I use in the recipe. Tastes amazing, and adds such a wonderful chocolate flavor. Just make sure to chop either the bar or the chunks up before adding it to your paleo brownie mixture.
  • Glass Mixing Bowls: The thing I love about these glass mixing bowls? There are so many sizes! And they all nest inside each other, so they’re super easy to store. Plus, they’re microwave and dishwasher safe. .
  • Where to Buy Ingredients: Blanched Almond Flour | Paleo Chocolate Chunks or Paleo Chocolate Bars (or vegan chocolate chips if not paleo) | Coconut Sugar | Coconut Oil | Raw Cacao Powder | Unsalted Almond Butter | Ground Flaxseed | Pure Vanilla Extract

Are you ready to head into the kitchen with me? 🙂 I cannot wait to hear what you think! Be sure to leave a comment & let me know how it turns out. It’s always a joy sharing in these kitchen adventures with you. ‘Til the next one…

Description

Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies Recipe (GF): ultra-moist, deep chocolate flavor, fudgy, gooey YUM—the BEST paleo brownies recipe! Made with almond flour, Gluten Free, Vegan, Grain-Free.


Scale

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup natural, unsalted creamy almond butter
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ¾ cup raw cacao powder (for paleo) or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
  • ½ cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
  • ¾ cup chopped paleo chocolate chunks or vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Whisk until it resembles caramel.
  3. Add raw cacao powder in ¼ cup increments, whisking until well mixed and thick like frosting. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  4. Whisk in vanilla, salt and flax eggs, until well incorporated. The batter will be very sticky and thick.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, fold in almond flour until you get the consistency of soft dough or very thick batter, and no flour patches remain.
  6. Fold in paleo chocolate chunks or vegan chocolate chips. Pour batter into pan. Using the rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer.
  7. Bake for 28-36 mins. Mine took 30 minutes. Cool for about 2 hours, or until completely cool.* Slice into 16 brownies. Enjoy!

    I’ve baked these multiple times and finally found the tweaks that work. I like organic cane sugar as opposed to coconut sugar. I use slightly less cacao powder to avoid the overwhelming chocolate taste. I mix almond oil with a bit of coconut oil and melted butter. Great flavor (although that may be cheating). The flax eggs are key; my brownies were not as fudgy and moist with regular eggs. Finally I do 1/2 cup walnut and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Great recipe!

It was a huge hit!! I was wishing I had more and as I finished making them that’s when I saw the ability to double or triple the recipe! (Ah!) I’ll definitely make these again soon.

    My kids tried them, knowing they were healthy brownies & said they are JUST as goo as normal brownies. Now that is a HUGE compliment coming from my kids who don’t normally like my healthy desserts. 🙂

    Hi, I haven’t yet made this recipe but I really want to since I can’t remember the last time I had a really good brownie since going vegan, my sister is gluten free and since I want both of us to eat them (so I don’t eat them all because I would .) I wanted to try this recipe! But my only concern is that I’m allergic to almonds, I have gluten free flour so I’m not worried about that necessarily but I don’t know what to substitute the almond butter for? I have cashew butter and peanut butter which would both be fine to me but would one be better than another? Would love to hear your thoughts on it! I also may just try to do both and see which I like better but if there’s anything other than those two things that would make a better substitute let me know! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe I am HIGHLY looking forward to it ..

      Hi Maddie! A note on the gluten free flour: I think you’d have better luck with my Gluten Free Vegan Brownies recipe since the GF oat flour in that works more similarly to GF all purpose flour. As for subbing the almond butter: go with the one you like best! The flavor of the nut butter will affect the overall brownie taste. So, for example, if you like PB, go for PB. Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂

    I’ve made this brownie recipe twice now and they are AMAZING! So decadent, gooey, and chocolate-y. Even my friends who are not gluten or dairy free and are brownie snobs LOVE them- so that’s saying something. I’m planning on making them again for a larger group and need to double the recipe so I’m planning on using a 9×13 pan and upping the bake time by a few minutes, as per your suggestion on a comment on your similar vegan brownies with oat flour. Fingers crossed! Thank you for your amazing recipes!

    Hi! I found you through someone on Instagram and started following you and it was the greatest decision of my life!
    I made these brownies, used gluten-free flour instead of almond flour (apparently I’m allergic to almonds), and it was the best thing I’ve ever had!!! They hardly lasted a few days because I kept sneaking bites here and there. I now have a few tabs open with recipes to try out 🙂

The dough was too thick so while I was mixing I kept adding a little maple syrup along the way to loosen the mixture a little bit. I was afraid that it was not going to come out but let me tell you this it was soooo chocolatey, gewy, yummy and absolutely devine!! Please keep up the AWESOME work you do because your making a lot of people very HAPPY like me!!!!

    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!

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.

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”.)

      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!

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 ^^

      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! 🙂

    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!

      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?

    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 .

    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!

    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!.

    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!

        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!
