Calling all chocolate lovers! These Paleo-friendly double chocolate brownies are flourless and full of fudgy, gooey goodness. Only 8 simple ingredients, 10 minutes, and a sweet tooth needed!
Since I believe there is no way to mess up a truly great thing, I love to experiment with my favorite baked goodies. Specifically, brownies. How can you ever go wrong with cocoa, vanilla and heaps of chocolate chips, after all?
After having such delicious success with my Flourless Chocolate Chip Blondies, I wanted to try a twist on everyone’s favorite chocolaty treat… again, without any butter or oil.
I had no idea almond butter would make such a scrumptious substitute!
One of my favorite pairings with chocolate is nuts. Pecans, walnuts, peanuts, almonds – you name it! I love the salty, creamy combination with rich, sweet chocolate. For those who agree, these soft and chewy brownies definitely don’t disappoint!
I used almond butter as the base, which has a more subtle flavor than other nut butters, but you can also use creamy peanut butter.
For another fun twist on brownies, try my decadent 3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies. Both of these batches are outrageously good (and easy)!

What rich, amazing-looking brownies! I’d eat way too many of these :)
These brownies look absolutely divine! So beautiful. I have been trying to go less gluten, not gluten free, so these are just right. Yum.
These look delicious, but I don’t see the recipe.
Looks good! But where’s the recipe?
Sorry, it should appear now!
It’s up now!

Ooh, these look and sound amazing! I love chocolate and almonds together!
I have been trying to eat healthier and have also been doing meal prepping every sunday. As a result I am baking goodies in moderation so that I am not easily tempted. I already made a chocolate pudding for this week, but I will definitely be baking a batch of these babies on Sunday! :) You never seize to amaze me!
Oh my! This looks so good, gooey and chocolatey indeed :) Working with chocolate every day, I must say it’s one of the few things you cannot get fed up with, fact! And the little chocolate chips looks so nice! It always surprises me how they stay whole and survive the melding oven :P Thanks for the recipe! x
These look wonderful. Is there much better than flourless chocolate cake? Yes, brownies. :)
Yepp-these count as healthy! They’re going into my MUST-MAKE healthy desserts list!
Love how rich and fudgy these look!
you would never know those are flourless. They look amazing and so moist and fudgy!
Another added bonus is that the almond butter gives it protein. Yum! They look delicious.
