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.
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…

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! 🙂
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!
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. 🙂
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!
hi, can i substitute the maple syrup with honey? thanks!
Hi Marie, yes you can! Enjoy!
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! 🙂
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! 🙂
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!
Yum! Can’t wait to try these!
Enjoy!
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! 🙂
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! 🙂
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. 🙂
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. 😉
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! 🙂
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
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! 🙂
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! 😉
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
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! 🙂
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! 🙂
