THE Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies

Well, they’re so fudgy that they’re tip-toeing on the borderline of gooey, unbaked brownie delight.

Simple Ingredients for Paleo Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Better yet, the best fudgy paleo brownies of all time are made with simple, whole ingredients that you can feel good about. Yep, these easy fudgy brownies are paleo-friendly and vegan.

Almond Butter: this is my key ingredient to making the best fudgy paleo vegan brownies. Years ago, when I developed this recipe, all the paleo brownie recipes I saw online were packed with tons of oil—and not a lick of almond butter in sight. One day, while I was working on my Best Vegan Brownies recipe & my Vegan Gluten Free Brownies recipe, I realized that almond butter could add healthy fats, pump up the rich, fudgy texture, and decrease the amount of oil in my soon-to-be ultimate fudgy paleo vegan brownies recipe.

Raw Cacao Powder: one of my favorite nutrient-rich ingredients to use in paleo baking. Just compare the nutritional stats of raw cacao powder versus traditional unsweetened cocoa powder; you’d be amazed at the difference. Raw cacao packs a healthy punch of antioxidants, calcium and minerals.

Almond Flour: in order to keep my paleo chocolate brownies recipe grain-free, I turned to one of my favorite ingredients for keeping recipes moist—almond flour. Almond flour does something magical in paleo baked goods: it adds a dry element to balance out wet ingredients, while holding those wet ingredients so well. Result: super moist baked goods.

Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar, Flaxseed: my go-to ingredients to keep paleo + vegan treat recipes whole, refined sugar-free, and packed with healthy fats.

How does this fudgy paleo chocolate brownie recipe taste? Allow me to describe. 🙂 These ultra-moist brownies are bursting with rich, deep chocolate flavor. Every bite is dense and rich, meant to be savored and appreciated. The interior of every brownie is fudgy, gooey and packed with warm ‘n melty chocolate goodness.

How to Store Your Easy Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies

For Firmer Fudgy Paleo Brownies: store your paleo brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The brownies are much firmer, but still fudgy—kind of like a thick, dense square of paleo fudge.

Tip for Super Fudgy Paleo Brownies: to revive your paleo brownies on Day 2-Day 14, heat for about 5-10 seconds in the microwave, just until warm. The brownies will turn ultra-moist and gooey, just like you grabbed them fresh from the oven.

FAQs

What makes brownies cakey vs fudgy? ›

Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat—in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.

Why are my brownies never fudgy? ›

Achieving a fudgy brownie is all to do with the ratio of fat to flour. A fudgy brownie recipe will use more fat than flour. Generally this is achieved by adding more butter or real chocolate to your brownie recipe. A cakey brownie recipe on the other hand will call for more flour in the ratio of fat to flour.

What's the difference between brownies and fudge brownies? ›

Brownies have a cake-like texture with a crispy top and a moist, fudgy center and are typically baked in a rectangular pan. Fudge, on the other hand, is typically made by cooking a mixture of sugar, butter, and milk or cream until it reaches a soft, chewy consistency.

What happens if you put brown sugar in brownies? ›

Craft your crust

More brown sugar leads to dense brownies with incredible depth of flavor, but the additional moisture can cause their upper crust to be more solid than delicate as a result. If this is how you love your brownies, great.

What does adding an extra egg to brownie Mix do? ›

They give brownies a lighter, drier, and more cake-like texture. If you prefer this over the chewy variety, then go ahead and crack in that additional egg. On the other hand, too many eggs will yield brownies that are hard, heavy, and tough.

What are the 3 types of brownies? ›

Brownie textures fall into three general camps… Cakey, fudgy and chewy. Cakey brownies, like the name implies, are light, moist and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior. Fudgy brownies are moist, dense and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact.

Are brownies better with oil or butter? ›

In brownies, both butter and oil will offer a moist, tender texture, but only butter will give the dish the aeration needed for rising brownies well. If you use a cake brownie, butter is a better option because it helps rise the batter. For denser, fudge type brownies, oil is permissable.

What is the difference between fudgy and chewy brownies? ›

Recipes for chewy brownies use more flour than those for fudgy brownies, which results in a more structured, chewy bite and less dense texture.

How do you keep brownies fudgy? ›

The best option is to wrap each brownie in an airtight wrapping such as plastic wrap. Wrapped brownies can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator and should be consumed within 1-2 days before they become dry and stale.

Why are they called S * * * * * brownies? ›

Just one month after Amanda shared her dessert creation, she posted a recipe for a cookie-brownie hybrid similar to Amanda's and wrote, “They're called slu*tty Brownies because they're oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy.” Her post ended with the introduction of “#slu*ttybrownie.” A mashup of already beloved ...

What is the old version of brownies? ›

Did you know that Brownies were originally called 'Rosebuds'? Rosebuds was established in 1914 for girls to join before they became Guides. Just one year later, the name was changed to Brownies. Brownies are the second-youngest members of the Girlguiding family, for girls aged between 7 and 10.

Can brownies be too fudgy? ›

The truth is, fudgy brownies are slightly undercooked. The key is to make sure the center of the brownies is set and that the toothpick doesn't look too gooey when you remove it from the brownies.

Why do you put salt on top of brownies? ›

It works in the same way that your other sweet-and-salty food combinations do, like peanut butter pretzels. Salt brings out flavor, so you'll taste the cocoa and other ingredients even more.

Why do you put salt in brownies? ›

Salt can enhance the flavor of brownies

The salt will even stick better onto the brownies if you add chocolate chunks or chips, which create "gooey puddles" once they melt. When it comes to using salt in batters, The Daily Meal strongly suggests using fine sea salt over regular table salt.

Which sugar is best for brownies? ›

Using caster sugar in brownies also helps to get a super crinkly top. Caster sugar has a smaller grain size than granulated sugar, so it dissolves better in the egg mixture, to give that nice crinkly top. If you only have granulated sugar on hand it will still work fine particularly if you are in the US.

Should brownies be gooey or cakey? ›

Many brownie batters are designed to be gooey, using proportionally more butter and chocolate and less flour than the type designed to be cakey. So it isn't uncooked eggs that creates the gooey texture, it's the ratio of the ingredients that matters.

How do you make box brownies not cakey? ›

Don't overcook them. Unlike cake, brownies only need to cook until a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean. Also the oil and butter tip is a good one, and looking for a recipe that uses less egg. More egg= cakier brownies; less egg = denser, moister brownies.

Are my brownies fudgy or undercooked? ›

It's useful to know that the internal temperature of a regular cake should read 210°F for moist-but-not-fudgy fluffiness. So fudgy, gooey brownies will be done at around 165°F while cakey brownies will be done at around 210°F. The higher the temperature, the more cakey your brownies will be.
