This decadently sweet Gooey Fudge Brownie Pie will be loved by everyone who tastes it! A dark chocolate almond flour brownie pie filled with dark chocolate chips is topped with a rich topping for the ultimate Paleo brownie. Gluten free, grain free, dairy free, soy free.
I really hope you didn’t completely banish treats from your life yet (isn’t that what Mondays are for?) because this Gooey Fudge Brownie Pie is a good one. The timing of the New Year was a bit strange in that it leaves a whole long weekend that’s not quite here nor there. The holidays are over but you’re not back to regularly scheduled programming.
If it makes you feel any better, this chocolatey, gooey fudge brownie pie is 100% gluten, grain, dairy, soy, and refined sugar free. And if that doesn’t make you feel any better, eating it certainly will 🙂
Consider it one last hurrah before you’re reminded of all those pesky resolutions you made in the past month. Kidding. You can honor your resolutions and still have your gooey brownies on any day of the week, even Monday Jan. 5 without guilt. Just keep in mind that this dessert will disappear pretty quickly after it’s discovered, so act fast.
We had this on Christmas with my whole family, who by no means eats Paleo, and everyone loved it and couldn’t believe it was paleo.
According to my non-paleo family, SOME paleo treats have “that taste” that makes is recognizably paleo (I think this might be a coconut flour/honey/coconut milk issue?) but THIS recipe did not have “that taste.” All I know is that my mom wound up serving it with whipped cream and it was a big favorite. Trust me though, no whipped cream (or ice cream) is necessary on this for it to satisfy a rich dessert craving 🙂 Not saying it wouldn’t be awesome with it, but that is damn awesome without it!
Gooey Fudge Brownie Pie {Grain Free, Dairy Free, Paleo}
Gooey Fudge Brownie Pie
Ingredients
For the Brownie
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup organic coconut sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp organic coconut oil melted and cooled to almost room temp
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips homemade or Enjoy Life Brand
For the Topping:
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips homemade or Enjoy Life brand
- 2 Tbsp full fat coconut milk from a can
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 pie dish generously with coconut oil. Alternatively, you can make this in a square pan as traditional brownies.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut oil until smooth.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the raw cacao powder, almond flour, salt, and baking soda.
-
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend until smooth.
-
Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Pour the batter into the pie dish and use a rubber spatula to get every last drop in there!
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the center has just about set but is still a bit gooey. Watch closely so you don't overbake!
-
While the brownie bakes, make the topping:
-
In a small saucepan, combine the topping ingredients, and stir constantly while melting over low heat. Once melted and shiny, remove from heat and allow to cool.
-
You can spread the topping over the brownie pie while it's still a bit warm, but allow it to cool completely before cutting and serving.
-
This is one that tastes fudgier and chewier the longer you wait! Enjoy!
Nutrition
Do you prefer brownies by themselves or topped with ice cream or whipped cream?
Is anyone planning on starting a sugar detox, Whole30 or any type of cleanse or reset for the new year?
Do you feel like you’ve had “enough” treats this holiday season or are you still in the mood for them?
This was amazing!!! Can’t even tell it’s grain free. I plan to take it to a family dinner in a few weeks.
Awesome 🙂
These were easy to make. Just found them on Pinterest. I was going to make your new chocolate pie from you’re new cookbook. But ran out of time, but will be making it for tomorrow. My kids really wanted me to make a pie for Pi Day. Can’t wait to taste them.
Is there something I can used instead of Coconut sugar? Like Honey or Maple Syrup?
Do you need to refrigerate this pie?
good
