Can you sub coconut sugar instead of honey? Would you need more fat or oil ? Honey isn’t raw after heating so just looking for healthier sub. 🙂
you sure can use coconut sugar instead of honey. I haven’t tried it that way though. You might need slightly more coconut oil to keep the consistency. I would add more coconut oil only if the consistency of the raw brownies batter looks too dry. Hope it turns out good!
I am looking forward to making these for my Birthday but I will need to substitute sun butter for the almond butter as I am intolerant to almonds. I would also need to substitute the almond flour with coconut flour. Do you know how much coconut flour I should use?
I just made it with walnut flour instead of almond flour. Are you intolerant to walnuts as well?
Best paleo dessert I’ve ever made. They really taste like–and almost better than–“real” brownies. And they’re nutritious. Thanks for sharing your recipe! It’s gold.
Yay!! So glad you liked them! You made my day 🙂
I’m allergic to coconut. Is there a sub for the coconut oil that I could use? Apple sauce or greek yogurt?? Thanks!
Hi Sarah,
you could substitute coconut oil with melted organic grass fed butter. It might have a slightly different taste but I think it will turn out amazing!! 🙂 Enjoy!
Ok thanks!! Is grass fed butter the same thing as ghee?
Not the same, but yes, you could use ghee as well.
These are amazing! Do they need to be refridgerated? If not how long do they last setting out?
Thanks, Rachel!
They are like regular brownies and don’t need to be refrigerated. I think they would last for several days. Honestly, we have never been able to keep them for very long because they are usually gone in couple of days.
My whole family loves this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Awesome! So glad to hear your family loves it! 🙂 Can’t wait to create more healthy dessert recipes for my readers!
Hi. These look amazing. Very keen to make them. I’m wondering how to cut down on the carb content, though. If I only use 1/4 cup of honey, with the rest made up of stevia, would I need to add some butter or other fat to give it more moisture? Thanks.
Hi! I think that should work, you might need to add a little bit more coconut oil if the consistency & texture is too thick. At the end, after you have mixed all ingredients, if the batter is too thick, add a little bit of coconut oil until the batter has a brownie like consistency. Let me know how it turns out if you try it that way.
Hi!
What brand of almond butter do you use for these brownies? Also could you post weights for the ingredients, mostly just the almond butter and almond flour? Thanks!
Hi Sylvia! I used 96g of almond flour and about 120 g of almond butter. I used this brand and type almond butter: http://amzn.to/2bM7i4y (affl link) I hope this helps you!
I make these for my husband at least once a week and whenever i need to take something healthy/treat like over to a friends house. We love this recipe SO much! A total keeper!! Thanks for sharing ♡
I’m always curious about good Paleo dessert recipes! These look totally heavenly. I bet they’re amazing!
Love that you used almond flour! These brownies are as gooey and gorgeous as any! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Annie!
Regina, I want to try this today LOL, but Can I substitute almond butter for more oil? I can’t find it where I live. Thanks
It’s very easy to make almond butter at home. Just grind almonds in the food processor for couple of minutes, scrape down the sides of the food processor and grind again for couple more minutes until you have the desired creamy texture of almond butter. I wouldn’t substitute coconut oil for almond butter because the texture of melted coconut oil is much more liquid than that of almond butter. Hope you enjoy them! 🙂
I made the almond butter like you said, and this brownie is AMAZING!!!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
That made my day! I am really glad you like them!
Have you ever tried these with maple syrup? I have found that I don’t always like the flavor of baked goods made with honey. How much maple syrup would you recommend using?
Sylvia, I haven’t tried them with maple syrup. But I would use the same amount (3/4 cup) since its consistency is very close to that of honey. I have made them using coconut sugar and they taste great that way too! 🙂
I would buy healthy food.
Yay for spring and these brownies! They look so ooey gooey delicious! Love using almond flour!
Bob’s Red Mill baking supplies!!!
These are the best brownies I have ever tasted! I am not on a gluten free or paleo diet, just thought I’d try something different. So glad I did! I will never make a traditional brownie recipe again. Thank you so much, I am forever indebted 🙂
You just made my day, Regina! Thank you so much for your kind words! I m so glad you like them! 🙂
Looks so delicious and healthy!!! Trying them this weekend!
Thank you ~
Awesome, let me know how you like them. Thanks for stopping by!! 🙂
These brownies are fantastic! No refined anything – brilliant.
Thanks for your kind words, Maureen!
Those brownies look so gooey and yummy! And I love that they’re paleo, how awesome! 🙂
I know, right! Love that I can have my daily dose of sweetness without eating treats loaded with sugar and other processed ingredients. Thanks for stopping by Christina! 🙂
