Fudgy, rich, and secretly healthy Paleo Chocolate Brownies made with wholesome ingredients, naturally sweetened with honey, and adorned with sweet strawberry hearts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour (super-fine)

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cacao powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate, chopped (or paleo chocolate chips)

  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced into heart shapes (for garnish, optional)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to easily lift the brownies out later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chopped unsweetened chocolate. Reserve a few pieces if you like to sprinkle on top before baking.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. The edges should look set.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before attempting to lift or cut them. This is crucial for fudgy, intact brownies.
  • Once completely cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Slice into 9 squares. If desired, gently press a strawberry heart onto the top of each brownie before serving.

Notes

    • The Perfect Fudge Factor: Don’t overbake these beauties! Paleo brownies can dry out quickly. Look for moist crumbs on your toothpick, not a completely clean one, to ensure that gloriously fudgy texture. Every oven is different, so keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes.
    • Cooling Patience is Key: I know, the smell is intoxicating! But for perfectly structured, non-crumbly Paleo Chocolate Brownies, resist the urge to cut them warm. They firm up considerably as they cool, so let them chill completely in the pan for at least an hour, or even longer, before slicing.
    • Flavor Boosters: Want to deepen that chocolate flavor even more? Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients. For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a tiny bit of flaky sea salt over the top of the batter before baking or on the cooled brownies before serving. It really makes the chocolate sing!
