This is the kind of “health food” that seems too good to be true. Yes, they’re brownies. Yes, they are calorie dense, but they are nutrient dense too – and if you’re gluten-free or dairy-free you know just how life-changing a good recipe like this can be!
Even without flour or dairy, Claire Thomas and Laurel Gallucci’s paleo brownies are some of the best we’ve ever tried – an essential (and fool proof) recipe for any fall or winter baking repertoire. Still hungry for more? Their paleo chocolate cake recipe never disappoints either…
Fudgy, decadent, delicious…the description goes on. These grain free, refined sugar free and dairy free paleo brownies are the real deal. I’m 100% ok with my husband eating these for breakfast most mornings, however they are a treat all hours of the day! Enjoy!
