These Gooey Fudgy Paleo Brownies are hands down the best batch of healthy brownies I have made. They’ve got that rich intense dark chocolate flavor and luscious moist texture. Even better? These brownies are gluten free, dairy free and paleo friendly.
.
Gooey Fudgy Paleo Brownies hit all the buzzwords for me.
I am a chocolate addict.
But who can blame me? Cacao is proven to improve mood and cognitive function.
That’s what I tell myself.
Especially when I have these gooey fudgy paleo brownies in hand.
Guilt Free.
Why do I love these Paleo Brownies
The most Fudgy Brownies
Firstly of all, texture of these brownies are so gooey, fudgy and moist.
Each bite is like an explosion of rich intense chocolate.
Heav-Ven.
Healthy Guilt Free Paleo Brownies
Although these healthy brownies taste like a chocolate volcano explosion, they are made with healthy ingredients. You won’t believe it.
They are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Paleo Friendly.
Instead of butter in traditional brownie recipe, I used ghee which is lactose free. You could also sub for coconut oil.
Additionally, I replaced regular flour with almond flour, which is paleo, gluten free and keto friendly.
Last but not least, I used paleo friendly maple syrup and coconut sugar rather than regular white sugar. To be honest, I personally love the taste of maple and that caramel-y flavor from coconut sugar. So it’s a win win situation.
SO Easy to Make
This Gooey and Fudgy Brownie recipe is so easy make.
Don’t get intimated by the chocolate melting part. Trust me, I used to think it was the most fancy process ever. But melting chocolate in double pots is actually super fun. Especially when you get to scrape (read – lick) the leftover melty chocolate.
How to Make the most Fudgy Paleo Brownies
First, you will a few accessible ingredients:
- Lots of chocolate ( I like this 100% dark chocolate or this paleo chocolate sweetened by coconut sugar)
- Almond flour
- Cacao powder
- Maple syrup
- Eggs
- Ghee or coconut oil
- Coconut Sugar
Second, melt 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar in a pot.
I used double pot method here. So you will need two pots here.
In a small pot, place the chocolate in it. Then fill the second pot (bigger) with water, half full.
Then, place the small pot in the big pot. Bring water to boil then turn the heat to simmer. Stir the chocolate until it is completely melted.
Phew, it sounds fancy. But it is really so easy.
Even better? You get to lick the leftover chocolate. I mean “Clean”. Did I typed what I was thinking out loud?
Third, mix the rest of the ingredient in one bowl, and slowly pour the chocolate in the bowl.
Last but not least, sprinkle some extra chocolate chip and sea salt on top.
Bake and Enjoy!
Don’t like your Brownies Gooey?
Now, personally, I love a rich, dense and fudgy brownie. To be honest, I also like my banana bread moist and gooey.
But these healthy brownies’ texture can vary depending on how long you bake them and how much baking soda you put in the batter.
Team Cake-Y
In order to make cake-like brownies, add ½ teaspoon baking soda and bake for the brownie for just a couple extra minutes.
Team Gooey Ooey
On the other hand, if you prefer the gooey ooey brownies, bake them for a couple minutes under the instructed time I have here.
How to Serve these Gooey Paleo Brownies
First of all, I am going to have to go with the old fashion way
- A dollop of ice cream on top a piece of warm brownie.
Then, here is a healthy version – tBrownies for breakfast?
- Top fudgy brownies with some vanilla yogurt and make the best dessert for breakfast.

Could I use butter instead of ghee? Thank you
Hi Olivia!
yes, that would work!
Happy Baking 🙂
Absolutely delicious! I only had half a cup of almond flour left so I substituted the remainder with walnuts that I blitzed into a flour. They were absolutely delicious and I finally nailed the fudgey consistency of a brownie thanks to your tips.
These were wonderful! My grand children didn’t even know they were a healthier version. I did drop a few salted caramel chips on top and that was a hit also.
Aw Yay That makes me so happy! I am so glad 🙂
This recipe is UNREAL!! I think I had like 5 of them after they came out of the oven. I added a little bit of coconut sugar and extra chocolate chips on top so that when I cut them apart they had some gooey chocolate. That, in addition to the sea salt, really makes this recipe irresistible!! Thank you for sharing!
Omg!! This recipe is AMAZING (I think I had like 5 after they came out of the oven), and doesn’t even taste/have the crumbly consistency that sometimes arises with GF recipes. Absolutely LOVED these, and will be making them again!! PS the salt is such an amazing touch 🙂
Hi hi,
OH YAASSS! So glad you love them! And yes.. anything with salt.

I went with the fudgy verison. So so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I’m literally one the last ingredient and am not sure what it should be. You say 2 teaspoons of salt in list but say a pinch of salt in directions. What is it? thanks!
Hi Christin,
Thank you for bringing it up. The 2 tsp listed is used for both the brownie batter as well as the sprinkle on top. I just changed it to be more clear) about 1//4 tsp – 1/2 tsp in the batter), and additional on top. Hope it helps.
Shuang
Thanks. I did end up using 1/4 teaspoon. Came out amazing!
Aw Yay! That makes me so happy!
