Looking for Paleo brownies with almond flour? This one will knock your socks off. These are made with almond flour, sweetened with honey, and made without eggs or dairy. Make ’em vegan by swapping the honey with maple syrup.

Even with all these ingredient swaps, these brownies are moist, rich, ooey-gooey, and delicious.

These brownies, along with my coconut flour ginger cookies, and these double chocolate almond cookies and my Paleo chocolate cake are the ultimate dessert staples in my (mostly) Paleo and dairy free kitchen.

Egg-free brownies

While it’s really difficult to make a brownie without eggs, I was able to do it in this recipe because the almond butter adds the texture you need to hold it all together. In most cases if you try to just use an egg replacement like flax egg, chia, or psyllium husk in a normal brownie recipe, it just doesn’t work quite right.

Give these a shot for a delicious no-egg brownie that also happens to be healthy and delicious.

More questions about these Paleo brownies…

• Is this recipe gluten free? Yep! This recipe is gluten free (thanks to the almond flour). And it’s packed with protein (thanks to the almond butter AND almond flour). Really, let’s just say “thanks” to almonds.
• Can I make this recipe vegan? Since there’s no egg in these brownies, you can pretty easily make it vegan by substituting the honey for maple syrup. It’s an easy 1-1 swap here.
• Can I use something other than coconut oil? I would think you could use butter or ghee as a swap for the coconut oil, but for the moment I’m dairy free and can’t test that for you.
• How do I pick the right kind of almond flour? Look for fine almond flour in the store. I wouldn’t recommend making your own almond flour for this recipe because it’ll be pretty hard to get it the right consistency.

Preheat the oven to 350 (F) and grease the bottom of your 8″ x 8″ baking dish. If you’d rather, you can use parchment paper between the brownie batter and the pan. This makes it super easy to lift the whole pan of brownies out when they’re done baking.

Mix the wet ingredients. This includes the almond butter, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and applesauce (or coconut milk).

Then, mix the dry ingredients. This includes the cocoa powder, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.

Mix it all together. The batter will be thick. Flatten it into the baking dish with a rubber spatula or your hands.

If you’re worried about eating the whole pan (like me). Try this recipe for a personal sized brownie (guilt-free). And if you’re feeling extremely decadent, top these brownies with this avocado chocolate pudding or this dairy free chocolate peanut butter ice cream.
