How to Make Easy Paleo Brownies
These brownies are pretty simple to make, requiring 1 bowl, 7-ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep. Just mix everything up in a bowl and bake for about 20 minutes. Easy!
The star ingredients here are also fairly basic – you don’t need anything too crazy or exotic. I actually adapted this recipe from a recipe I found on Food.com which means that there is a lot of wiggle room for a few adjustments if you don’t have everything on hand.
Possible recipe substitutions:
coconut oil – oil of your choice
coconut sugar – white sugar
tapioca flour – gluten free AP flour blend (this one is what I use)
Keep in mind that you won’t have paleo brownies with most of these adaptations if that’s what you care about. If however you’re just looking for an easy and delicious gluten free brownie recipe then these are perfect for you! It’s all about the options!
However you make these brownies, I really think you’re going to love them!
Enjoy!

These are so popular with not only my mom and myself who are ingredient restricted but also my dad and my husband that I just made a quadruple batch this time around. I’ve been doubling it after the first time (the only time I made a single batch). I also reduce or leave out the chocolate bars because it’s hard to find ones I can use and they are still delicious! Thank you so much for posting 🙂

Hi Becky! Thank you so much 🙂
I’m so thrilled to hear you all can enjoy the brownies – especially with all the restrictions! Thank for taking the time to come back and leave a review!
Antonia says
Hi, can I leave the coconut sugar out?
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Antonia! This might be a silly question from me, but would you be replacing the coconut sugar with another sweetener? Without any sugar/sweetener at all these cookies would be quite bitter. Taking out 1 full cup of something would also throw off the balance of the other ingredients which would affect the overall texture of the brownies.
If you do replace the coconut sugar with another type of sweetener I might be able to help more as far as providing suggestions and advice as you might need different amounts depending on what you’re using.
Emma says
Just made this as we are gluten free (I’m AIP, but that’s another story!). It’s great as we didn’t want to use coconut flour. Tastes pretty much like a ‘normal’ brownie. I didn’t quite put that much coconut sugar in. I used a 9x9inch pan and did the recipe 1.5 times. Perfect 🙂
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Emma! I’m so glad you enjoyed them! It’s also super helpful to know you were able to successfully increase the recipe by 1 1/2 times as well – thanks so much for taking the time to come back to let me know how it went 🙂
