Fudgy Brownies
The dates that I’ve used in this Brownie with Almond Flour recipe have been beautifully moist, which makes the batter come out perfectly fudgy.
The recipe won’t work with dry dates that have been sitting around in your pantry for months.

They’re made with a base of high fat macadamia nuts, along with salt, baking soda, dark chocolate, coconut oil, erythritol, eggs, and vanilla stevia.
Brownies Egg Substitute
What’s better than a brownies egg substitute? My egg free brownies.
Here, I’ve done the work for you, so there’s no need to mess around with a substitute that may or may not work.
My egg free brownies are actually called Everything-Free Brownies because they’re also nut free and dairy free.
And don’t forget that they’re grain and gluten free too!

Frosted brownie fan? If you’re looking for brownies with frosting, I highly recommend my Chocolate Frosting.
It’s not just for cupcakes anymore!
Healthy Brownies Recipes
Brownies are one of my husband’s favorite desserts, so I make them quite often.
He loves chocolatey treats, and I love that he’s getting a healthy dessert rather than processed junk food.
Below are my favorite healthy brownie recipes!
Brownies Easy
The five-ingredient brownie in my latest book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, is a fan favorite.
These healthy brownies are not only flourless and nut-free, they’re also super easy to throw together.
All you need to make these are chocolate chips, shortening, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Have you used chocolate chips in brownies? It creates a super-rich and gooey texture. Time to get baking!
Caramel for Brownies
My Caramel Brownies knock it out of the park –Mr. Pantry goes crazy for these. Just think:
- Brownies with Almond Flour (see recipe above)
- Caramel Sauce
- Chocolate Ganache
Need I say more? This is one of my family’s most requested desserts.
I know your family will love them as much as we do. Brownie points all around!
Brownies with Peanut Butter
Want to elevate my delicious Brownies with Almond Flour yet again?
How ’bout peanut butter and a thick layer of chocolate ganache? Heck yeah.
My Buckeye Brownies with Peanut Butter are little brownie bites of heaven and so easy you’ll want to make them over and over again.
Brownies a la Mode
Are you a fan of brownies a la mode? We are.
Heap a scoop of my Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream over my Nut Free Brownies, and you’ve got the perfect allergen free treat for parties.
My Nut Free Brownies in the photo above are made with a base of sunbutter, plus cacao, chocolate chips, eggs, and a hint of maple syrup.
This rich flourless brownie is quite the crowd pleaser.
Brownies Recipe Cocoa Powder
Have you ever made brownies with cocoa powder? If not, you’re in for quite a treat.
The magical Brownies above are made with a base of cocoa powder and almond butter and pack a high protein punch.
They’re so healthy you could eat them for breakfast!
Brownies in a Mug
Mug cakes won’t ever go out of style in this house. We love this single serve treat.
My five ingredient Mug Cake is so similar to a cake like brownie that I had to feature it here as an easy Mug Brownies recipe option for you.
Brownies Zucchini
My Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a fan favorite because it tastes like Hoho’s when smothered in Homemade Whipped Cream.
Change this bread to brownies by placing the batter in an 8×8 baking dish.
Reduce the baking time to 18-22 minutes, and voila, your brownies with zucchini dreams will have come true.

I find that SweetLeaf brand stevia is also good, but not as good as the NuNaturals ones…I may not have tried the new formulation though.
Julia M. says
Hi Elana! I have really enjoyed reading your blog over the past couple months. I made your carrot cake for a dinner party and my guests absolutely loved it!
Is it possible to double the above recipe and place in a 9×13 baking pan?
Janeen says

KathyM says
Is the use of a food processor a requirement, do you think? I’d love to make these, but that could be my show-stopper.
MamaCassi says
i just used my vitamix and it was almost impossible. the chocolate was the biggest challenge. i think if i grated it all first and then tossed it in w/ almond flour etc, it could work.
brownies in oven right now, but even w/ NOT doing things exactly right, Elana’s recipes tend to be ridiculously delicious every time. which is why i keep coming back!!!
Mike says
I had no issues with my Vitamix. I put everything in at once. You will need to use the tamper. ;)
I also soaked my dates for 4+ hours to make sure they were very soft.
Becky Abdelhak says
Do u know anything about remineralizing teeth? My daughter has cavities and the dentist says she needs 3 crowns and one root canal. We are trying to remineralize instead so she’s not supposed to have and sugar, grain, nuts, seeds, beans. It’s very hard to find any snacks for her. Thanks!

Harriet says
I’m allergic to Stevia. Other ideas? Have and love all your books!
Thanks
Ralph says
Harriet,
I used a lot more dates (16 instead of the recommended 7) and left the stevia out. Another person (a few replies up) used vanilla and agave. Next time I’ll try vanilla and honey in place of using more dates.
Ivy Moscucci says
Hi, you can use coconut sugar. For me works every time!
zahra says

Elana says

Marie Ligorria says
Elana,
Your recipes are excellent! I refer people to them often either my health counseling clients or customers who walk in the health food store where I work. I am, however, not a stevia kind of girl. So I subbed two Tbsp coconut sugar and these turned out great as well. So if anyone is in the same boat, there you go! I
sharon says
Does anyone know if you can use a kitchen aid mixer instead of food processer? mine just died.
Peggy Bates says
I just made a batch using electric beaters, as I don’t have a food processor. I used Dagoba chocolate and grated it before adding it to the almond flour mixture. I cut the dates in to small pieces before adding them. They turned out great!
