Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies are the perfect paleo dessert. This easy brownie recipe is one of our all time favorites and we love to serve it at our gluten-free Super Bowl Party. Each year we make one batch using the regular brownie recipe below, and another without the walnuts for our friends that need a nut-free brownie recipe.
We also serve my Gluten-Free Super Bowl Cake Pops which the boys and their friends adore!

These paleo brownies are made with coconut flour and are based on a recipe from Gluten Free Fix. We love this easy paleo brownies recipe because it’s so easy to make and is a very rich and dense brownie that is incredibly fudgey! This Double Chocolate Walnut Brownie recipe is one of those healthy paleo desssert recipes that tastes exactly like the real thing, if not better!
All types of brownies, but especially gluten-free brownies, can be a very personal thing. Some people like a cakey brownie, some like a dense brownie. What type do you like? Leave a comment below!

These brownies are fantastic and so easy to make! To save time and steps (I make at least one batch a week), I pulse the coconut flour, salt and soda with the chocolate chips (it also keeps the chocolate from getting stuck on the sides). While I’m at it, I process an extra batch of this ‘base’ for next time. I don’t even need the food processor after this step, just mix everything together and bake.

These are good. Has anyone made them as muffins?

Maggie says
I just made these today for the first time and they are my new favorite brownie! I took a chance on this recipe because I don’t usually like baked goods that use only coconut flour, but pulsing it with the chocolate is genius! I was also afraid that my food processor was too small, but it all worked and I will be making these again! ( And again and again!) I think I am going to use the Barnes and Noble gift card that I got for Christmas to buy your books! Thank you!
Elana says
Maggie, I’m so glad that this is your new favorite brownie!!!
Debbie says
If I don’t have either grapeseed oil or palm shortening, what oil/fat can I substitute? Olive oil? Butter?
Elana says
Debbie, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to all of my brownie recipes:

I use avacado oil and they are so good my hubby actually asks for them. (He is not a health food lover either!). People I’ve served them to think they are just amazing. Now I have to make two batches a week.
