Yassss, brownies that are totally Paleo! Here's how to make the ultimate paleo-friendly dessert. These are more than just an alternative, but a delicious brownie that also happens to be Paleo approved!
Looking for keto brownies? We got you with this decadent recipe.
Almond flour is your BFF.
We prefer almond flour for its nutty flavor. Coconut flour also works here, but its texture can really dry out baked goods, so we find almond works better.
Coconut sugar and honey are paleo friendly.
Coconut sugar or nectar is made from the sap of the coconut palm tree, which makes it a sweetener found in nature, so it's paleo friendly. Same goes for honey. Grade B maple syrup is also paleo friendly if you'd like to sub in some here.
Almond butter is the secret ingredient.
Adding 1/2 cup almond butter to the egg-coconut sugar mixture makes these brownies intensely rich. It also adds some nice fattiness so you don't have to rely on too much oil (in this case, olive oil).
Olive oil is your healthy fat.
Canola oil = not paleo, but olive oil is! We only like to use 1/4 cup so you don't overpower the brownie with its flavor. Fortunately, these have three times the amount of cocoa powder, so you're safe.
Don't skip the sea salt.
We love nothing more than a salty-sweet dessert at Delish. Topping these brownies with a garnish with flaky sea salt is just the thing they need to make them ultimately addictive.
Editor's Note: After comments of brownies being too salty we updated the recipe and reduced the amount of salt. The introduction to this recipe was also updated on January 25, 2021 to include more information about the dish.
