The Best Paleo Brownies
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter softened
- 1/4 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- pinch Salt
- 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8" square baking dish with parchment paper or grease well with butter so the brownies don't stick.
- To a large bowl, add the coconut sugar, softened butter, coconut milk, egg, and vanilla, and stir until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir just until no flour remains.
- Add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, and stir. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with a few extra chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until crisp around the edges and a toothpick inserted to the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares and serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- We love using grass-fed butter in our baked goods, but you can substitute with coconut oil if you need a dairy-free option.
- If you don't have or like coconut milk, substitute any milk that works for you. It just adds moisture and helps with the consistency.
- Find a few of my favorite chocolate chip (& chocolate chunk!) options linked under "Food & Drink" in my Amazon Shop HERE.
- For a "german chocolate" flair that we love: add 1/3 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 tsp almond extract. Adds so much flavor and gives them something special!
