healthy dessert recipe

These healthy brownies have it all – the luscious fudgy texture, the intense chocolate flavour and they’re easy to make! Plus, they’re gluten, grain and dairy free, as well as paleo.

Super Fudgy Healthy Brownies (Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free, Paleo)

oz (125 g) 80%+ dark chocolate, chopped

(50 g) coconut oil, softened at room temperature ((but not melted))

eggs, room temperature

almond flour

(30 g) cocoa powder

salt

dark chocolate chunks and chips ((optional))

Pre-heat the oven to 355 ºF (180 ºC) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with greaseproof/baking paper.

In a heat-proof bowl above a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or a hand mixer with the double beater attachments, whisk the eggs and coconut sugar until pale, fluffy and tripled in volume. This will take about 5 - 7 minutes.

Slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate while whisking on low speed. Whisk until the chocolate is fully incorporated.

Sift the almond flour, cocoa powder and salt into the egg-chocolate mixture, and gently fold in the dry ingredients (using a spatula) until no clumps remain.

Stir most of the chocolate chunks and chips into the brownie batter, then transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top, and sprinkle over the rest of the chocolate chunks and chips.

Bake in the pre-heated oven at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for 18 - 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached (for fudgy brownies) or even with some half-baked batter attached (for gooey brownies).

Serve the brownies either still warm or once cooled.

The healthy brownies keep well in a cool dry place in a closed container for 3 - 4 days.

This clever no-bake tart from Elle Young uses raw cacao and coconut oil, sweetened naturally with dates, oranges and honey

Chocolate orange tart

dates

oranges, juice of 1

coconut oil

clear honey

raw cacao powder(find it

almonds

desiccated coconut

½ tbsp clear honey

tbsp raw cacao powder

Put the dates in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 20 mins. Meanwhile, whizz the ingredients for the crust in a food processor until combined. Tip the mixture into a 23cm loose- bottomed fluted tart tin, using your fingers to spread it evenly across the base and push into the fluted sides. Cover with cling film and chill while you make the filling.

Drain the dates and put in a blender with the zest and juice of 1 orange, the coconut oil, honey and cacao. Whizz together until mostly smooth, then scrape into the chilled crust and smooth with the back of a spoon. Chill for at least 1 hr. Remove from the fridge 10 mins before serving and sprinkle with the remaining orange zest and extra cacao.

This healthy oat milk ice cream recipe is so delicious, rich, and creamy! With eggs, cinnamon, nut butter, and maple syrup, it&#039;s a true treat.

Oat Milk Ice Cream

oat milk (divided)

almond butter*

sugar

cinnamon (optional)

maple syrup

vanilla extract

vodka or bourbon (optional, see note)

mix-ins of choice: toasted walnuts (chocolate chips, crushed cookies (optional))

Prepare

Place 1 1/2 cups of the oat milk in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top.

Whisk

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Set near the stove.

Simmer

Warm the remaining 1 1/2 cups of the oat milk, almond butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until the almond butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a slight simmer, bubbling around the edges of the pan. Do not let come to a full boil.

Temper

Slowly pour the warm oat milk mixture into the egg yolks, adding in a little at a time, whisking constantly (do not add it too quickly or the eggs will scramble). Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan.

Cook

Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens slightly and easily coats the back of a spoon. DO NOT let the mixture boil. This will take about 3 minutes.

Strain

Pour the thickened mixture through the strainer into the bowl with the oat milk. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla.

Chill

Let the mixture come to room temperature, then chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Freeze

Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions (to make this oat milk ice cream without an ice cream maker, see notes). During the last few minutes of churning, add any mix-ins of choice. Enjoy!

This easy recipe for flourless pumpkin brownies takes only 5 minutes to get in the oven and is made with only one bowl. These brownies are completely gluten free and dairy free.

Flourless Pumpkin Brownies

pumpkin puree

eggs

vanilla

cocoa powder

tsp baking soda

chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a 8&#215;8 baking dish with grease or parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, mix together almond butter and pumpkin.

Whisk in the eggs, then add the maple syrup and vanilla.

Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and stir till combined.

Pour into pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Different size pans will yield different baking times.

Let cool before serving (For topping, melt chocolate chips in microwave with 1 tsp coconut oil)

I made with with 1/2c of stevia instead of honey and they were great! I added a tbs more pumpkin.

I also added 2tbs flaxseed and some walnuts (to the adult side of the pan) and a little powdered sugar (to the kid side of the pan). My picky 9-yr old who won’t eat any nuts or peanut butter loved them! I just didn’t mention they had almond butter in them.

I make these all the time and they are truly the only brownies I ever want anymore - nothing compares!

I absolutely love this recipe!! I've made it a few times and it's come out perfect each time. I even doubled the recipe to use the entire can of pumpkin puree and froze it. Completely forgot about it in the freezer until last night. Enjoying it as a mid-day snack today :)

SOOOOO good!!!! I’ve been loving all of Erin’s recipe! They don’t disappoint or should I say Erin doesn’t disappoint with her amazing creations?! 

Thank you Erin for sharing your delicious recipes!

Seriously love these!! Made them for my dad and he couldn’t even tell they were made with pumpkin until I told him! I’m loving all your recipes, Erin!

Once again, amazing recipe Erin! 
We don't have much left, but how do you store these leftovers?
Thank you!

This are so awesome! My boyfriend has ulcerated colitis and so I was on the hunt for a brownie recipe that had no sugar, no flour, and no dairy. These were so good, I made them twice in one week! The first time I found them on the dryer cakey side but I added more of the pumpkin and honey and that seemed to get the texture to where I wanted it, I also added a dash of cinnamon and that took it to another level. Thanks so much for this recipe!!

These are amazing!!! I make a double batch because they do not last long in my house.

Such a quick and easy recipe! My husband and two teenage boys loved them! Definitely making these again soon!

Love love love!!!  I have the biggest sweet tooth and these do not disappoint.  So glad I found you and these brownies!  You've taught me a lot about eating healthier and I truly appreciate the work you put in. 
Making a batch of brownies right now :)

Hi, I  made this recipe yesterday,  brownies are delicious,  but I  made a few changes, as a sweetener I used a lil bit stevia and a couple bananas, add ground flaxseed and raisins, thanks for the recipe, very good!!

So glad you are liking them! Thanks for sharing.

The best! I’m not a huge fan of brownies but my fiancé is. I made this for him so he couldn’t healthier and he had no idea it was made with pumpkin!! I’d say it’s slightly more cake likes and brownie. It was very light and fluffy. Sooo good! Must try!!!

If I had any left to take a picture I would...but they’re gone. They are so good. I love the texture...almost fluffy. Ugh I wish I had pumpkin to make another batch right now. I literally crave these every day. Thank you for creating these!!

We love these! I put them in my kids’ lunches. Oh, and the batter? So good I have to force myself to bake it.

These are soooo delicious! The pumpkin really gives them a great texture. I’m definitely going to make them again!! Thanks Erin!

These are the most amazing brownies ever!! I am on my second batch of the week 😆

I took these to my lab meeting and the entire department was obsessed with them! Thanks Erin!!

Just made these this afternoon and the flavor + texture is INSANE. I halved the amount of chocolate chips because I didn't have enough on hand but it still turned out so freaking delicious!!

Definitely my new favorite brownie recipe! Thanks Erin :)

I ended up trying it with organic peanut butter (sugarless) and it worked splendidly! I had my doubts about making healthy brownies , but these are soooo good! Perfectly chocolatey and gooey, especially when you heat them up in the microwave! Granted, I did double the amount of chocolate chips :) and omitted the chocolate drizzle.

Super easy and delicious!  My husband, who is extremely picky, loved them!

I could eat these every day of the year and never get sick of them. So good.

Delicious and amazing. Doesn’t get better than this. SO GOOD.

These were amazing! I used SF maple syrup and put them in the fridge after for a couple hours (while we ate dinner). They came out like FUDGE. So good.

These were delicious!  I have tried several of your recipes and they are better than the ones in published Paleo cookbooks.  Those of us who have to eat dairy/gluten free are rejoicing!

I’m so sorry to say that I was prepared for this to be repulsive. I have been paleo for a year and I used to love baking, now I find that I’m let down by paleo friendly recipes more often than not. But THIS was an absolute gem. Can’t wait to make it again. Added a tsp of pumpkin spice and a sprinkle of cinnamon too and I had no regrets.

I love this recipe!!! The brownies turned out beautifully, you’d never know that they are healthy(er)! I will be making again for sure.

SOOOO delicious!!! I used 1/2 cup of tahini and 1/4 of crunchy peanut butter and they came out so great! Will definitely be using this recipe in the future!

Wow oh wow. These were just delightful!!! I made these for some friends that came over and didn't tell them anything other than that they were brownies. They RAVED and a) couldn't taste the pumpkin at all and b) had no idea that they were flourless!! Big win that you don't feel heavy and bloated after eating them. They are that perfect. Recipe was SO easy too.

One note/word of caution – 22 minutes in an 8x8 didn't do it at all for me. I had to add about another 15 minutes. So just be forwarded if you're in a time crunch you might need that extra time!

These were delicious and so easy to make!

Erin this recipe is PHENOMENAL!!! I am so thankful for your creations! these brownies were too easy &amp; soooo delicious! thank you so so much! take care 😊

These brownies are SOO incredible! It was very much a trust-the-process experience for me because I don't even like pumpkin or almond butter and I ended up with the best brownies I've ever had. My family was obsessed when I made them for Thanksgiving. Thank you!!!

These were so easy to make and DELICIOUS! I think 'healthy' brownies taste better than the unhealthy ones!

Subbed Pb for AB so it’s tree nut free and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this recipe over the years. Fudgey and never fails, no matter the season!!

I LOVE these! so fudgy and addicting, I've made them about 3 times and you don't feel so bad eating half the pan knowing there's a vegetable snuck in there

Love these brownies! I have made them twice now and was very happy each time. Feels decadent but is a nice, lighter alternative to a traditionally baked brownie. Love to top with whipped cream or ice cream! The almond butter adds great flavor.

These flourless brownies are the BEST. Every time I make them, my first bite is immediately followed with, "I can't believe these are healthy!" My boyfriend loves them too. Definitely don't skip Erin's recommendation for extra chocolate on top! :)

Hot tip: microwave your brownie and serve with a dollop of frozen coconut whipped cream. *chef's kiss*

Replying to my own comment to emphasize how good these are. I literally have the link to this recipe bookmarked on Chrome on my phone. Made at least a dozen batches since it was first posted. MAKE THESE!

My husband and I both agreed this was the best lasagna we've ever had! This recipe is a keeper -- and you'd never guess that it's healthier than lasagna might normally be!

I made a mistake with this recipe but it still turned out great! I wasn't thinking and used a full can of pumpkin and then wondered why they were SO gooey and fudgy (when the recipe and reviews said they are more like a cake! -- which is how I realized my mistake.) Well, I love fudgy brownies and they are still delicious but probably way too gooey because you kind of have to spoon them out of the pan. However, I may experiment next time with just a tad extra pumpkin (rather than a full can) to see how they come out!

Sooooo good!!!!!  I cut them into tiny little cubes for a quick chocolate fix. This recipe is amazing!

Thank you for this recipe. These are the yummiest, fudgiest brownies! And healthy, too! That's a tall order for a brownie. Great job!

These are the BEST brownies I have ever made! 100 times better than any box mix and just as simple to make!

Omg these are amazing and sooo fluffy!!! My kids devour them! I will prob need to go buy more almond butter soon 🤣

I have made these too many times to remember or admit. I make them with creamy natural peanut butter and maple syrup. Erin, these are unreal. Thank you for this awesome recipe!!!

Excellent - the best paleo brownie ever.  Like chocolate cake!

Easily my favorite brownie recipe. So easy so delicious!

Love these! I also used 1 tbsp sweet leaf Stevia powder in place of honey and sunbutter. Followed your directions for leaving on the counter wrapped in foil and then refrigerate....sooo good!!

Just made these! The texture is amazing. I used monk fruit and think I should have added more. They just were not sweet enough for me but otherwise delish! I also used a combo of almond butter and peanut butter since I didn’t have enough almond butter. So good! Will definitely make these again to satisfy my brownie cravings!!

Seriously my favorite pumpkin brownie recipe EVER. I make them all year round and have them in my freezer always because I’m that obsessed!!

I made these brownies using flax egg and they are delicious.  The recipe made a 13x9 pan.  I froze the left overs, and when thawed , they are great too.
Going to be on my table for the holidays.  Thank you for this recipe.

These are awesome! 5 yr old &amp; 3 yr old approved. Second time making them today &amp; I am serving them for dinner - I am 40 weeks pregnant and the protein &amp; vegetable content of these brownies passes as a meal tonight! 😂

Incredible! As are all of Erin's recipes.

These are amazing!  My daughter and I just made them.  We used NuttZo, a mixed seed and nut butter.  They are absolutely delicious!  Like eating lava cake!  Thanks for the recipe!

Made this for my gluten free cousins for thanksgiving and ended up making a second batch just for our family. So good! Ended up swirling some pumpkin butter into it as well to give it a little extra fall flavor and it was wonderful. 10/10

I wanted to thank-you for this great recipe and to let you know I made it with Flax egg 
I did 3 tbsp of Milled Golden Roasted Flax from Costco with 1/2 cup warm water and let sit. This equals 3 eggs 
I wanted to make sure it was not too goopy. It was still soft and tasted like fudge.

I wanted to Thank-you for this delicious recipe. I made it with Flax eggs. I did 3tbsp of Milled Golden Roasted Flax with 1/2 warm water.It was soft, very chocolatey. Perfect brownies for those who cannot have certain, flours, eggs and certain sugars. I also added 2 tsp pumpkin  spice

I’ve been making these for years now and they’re just my absolute favorite. I always use peanut butter cause that’s what I have lol I never buy almond butter! And I always make it in a loaf pan for extra thickness. My most recent batch came out extra thick. I even eat them for breakfast since they are kinda healthy!

Best brownies ever! I omitted the chocolate chips and poured it into a ramekin to make a personal birthday cake for a friend. Topped it with df chocolate ganache and raspberries, she loved it! Thank you so much for sharing, I'll be making this for all of my friends

SO delicious! Just like all of Erin's recipes!!

Ok. These are legit the best healthy brownies! They are definitely fudgy and cake-like and you can’t taste the pumpkin at all. I used 1/4 c maple syrup and 1/4 c Swerve and they were the perfect sweetness! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!

Grain-free coconut flour brownies that are rich, moist, fudgy and so chocolatey!

Coconut Flour Brownies

tsp pure vanilla extract

coconut flour

coconut sugar**

cacao powder

sea salt

chocolate chips, optional***

Fudgy sweet potato brownies satisfy your chocolate craving the healthy way! Easy to make, naturally sweetened, and so chewy and yummy.

Sweet Potato Brownies

sweet potatoes (about 8 to 10 ounces each)

white whole wheat flour

ground nutmeg

baking powder (I recommend aluminum free)

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper so that you have some overhanging the sides, then lightly coat with baking spray. Set aside.

Beat

Place the sweet potatoes in the microwave and cook on high for 7 to 10 minutes or until completely softened. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out 2 cups of the flesh and discard the skin. Place in a larger mixing bowl, then beat until mashed and fairly smooth. Beat in the melted coconut oil (or butter) until combined, then beat in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.

Stir

In a separate bowl, stir together the white whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently, just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake

Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool completely. (The brownies taste better the longer they sit). Gently lift the brownies out of the pan onto a wire rack. Slice and serve.
