Right here. RIGHT NOW. In JUST over a half hour.
Don’t you feel silly for all the times your child didn’t tell you that you had to bring a dessert to school that VERY day, so you had to drive all the way to the store to buy a BOXED mix and the whole ordeal ended up taking over an hour, when you REALLY could have made (better!) brownies FROM SCRATCH in under an hour?
2 things to note: one: longest run on sentence of the universe
Two: was I the only child that ever did that to her Mom? Sorry Mom. Muah! <3
Moving on.
Brownies are one of those things, like paleo chicken salad, that people have RLY RLY strong opinions on. Like the kind of strong opinions that can start arguments at family dinner. <– Might be an exaggeration, but MAYBE NOT?
People are either in camp cakey brownie or camp dense and chewy and FUDGY BROWNIE.
My personal brownie-munching-mantra is: if I wanted gluten free chocolate cake, I would eat, well, CAKE so CHEWY brownies are the ONLY way to go.
That’s kind of a long manta though. I bet you’ve never seen that cross-stitched into a pillow.
Regardless of length, it is MY truth and also the TRUTH about this dairy free brownie recipe, which is actually the recipe that inspires the flourless gluten free chocolate cookies that also taste like a brownie!
Boy oh boy oh booooooy. Your chocolate-loving-mouths are not even going to KNOW what hit them my internet friends.
But, just to make sure we’re all clear, what hit them is gluten free dairy free brownies. Not trying any funny business here.
After MUCH testing and quality control (it’s a TOUGH job, but someone has to do it) I determined that the 1-2 punch of cocoa powder, chocolate chips and an extra egg yolk is going to be the answer to all your brownie-making dreams in the sense that it’s just so perfect and indulgent and chocolatey and GOOD.

Don’t resist adding the extra egg yolk, it is there for a REASON. It makes these paleo brownies SUPER fudgy and you would be doing yourself a disservice to deprive yourself of such awesome.

Is Cocoa Powder Dairy Free?
Contrary to what it sounds like, cocoa powder (and cocoa butter!) SHOULD be dairy free. Just make sure you buy a brand that is labeled 100% Cocoa and check the ingredients to make sure it doesn’t say “traced of dairy” if you are highly sensitive/allergic to it!
I am pretty positive that these are the kind of gluten free dairy free brownies that have some kind of magic baked in them because I forgot some in the fridge when we went away for 2 weeks at Christmas and when I came back? STILL GOOD.
Just had to pop ‘em in the microwave for a few seconds and I was crumbling paleo brownies up on my ice cream (!!!) like the brownie-loving-soul that I am.
If chewy brownies are the name, then eating them is my game.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour (150g)*
- 1/4 Cup Cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Coconut sugar
- 3 Tbsp Coconut oil, melted
- 1 Large egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/4 Cup Dairy-free mini chocolate chips (46g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line the bottom of an 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the sugar and oil just until the sugar is moistened. Add in all the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and beat until JUST combined, only about 20 seconds or so. You don't want to beat too much air into the batter or the brownies will sink when cooking.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and stir (by hand) until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press the batter into the prepared pan. It is VERY thick so I found using VERY lightly damp hands to work the best. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 26-28 minutes.
- Let cool completely before slicing.**
- DEVOUR!

These are seriously so delicious! I had to make a second batch because they were gone in no time. I made them in a mini muffin tin and baked them for 12 minutes.
Taylor Kiser says
Yay! I’m so glad1
Tamara R. Lee says
This recipe looks amazing, but I can not have coconut sugar. Do you think that I could use Swerve brown sugar or Swerve granular sugar instead?
Taylor Kiser says
Nope – they will not be at all the same. Sorry!
Taylor says
How well do these freeze? I want to try and make them but I would be the only one eating them so I would need to freeze them.
Brooke Lyngaas says
These are seriously THE BEST recipe I’ve tried….and I’ve tried a lot. They were gone instantly. Wondering if you can double the batch and if you’d have to change any measurements?
Taylor Kiser says
So glad you liked! I haven’t tried doubling so I am not sure! In past times, when I’ve doubled recipes, they are never quite as good so i would say don’ risk it!
Brooke Lyngaas says
Soooo I actually went ahead and doubled it, and they turned out great! Maybe a little “fluffier” on top, but still chewy inside! 😍
Taylor Kiser says
YAY!!! So glad it worked!
Summer says
Hi,
Can I use oat flour instead of almond flour? if I do, would there be any change to the current measurement?
Taylor Kiser says
Those two flours are not interchangeable – I’m sorry! Recipes are only tested as written, so i have no way of knowing how to change it.
kasey says
Can I add flax to the dry mix?
Taylor Kiser says
Definitely not! Sorry!
Mia Forbes says
Could you substitute cacao for the cocoa powder?
Taylor Kiser says
As in cacao powder? Yep!
Niusha says
I am gluten and dairy free due to allergies. Tries your recipe and it was GREAT. Thank you from Luxembourg!
Taylor Kiser says
YAY! So glad!
Lindsay says
I can’t do almond flour. Can I use gluten free flour instead?
Taylor Kiser says
Hi, Lindsay! I can’t tell you because recipes are only tested as written, but let me know if you try it!
