I don’t want to say it, but I’m going to. I have officially made the best paleo brownies I’ve ever tasted. I know that’s bold, I know that’s conceited, I know I know, but it’s just the truth so…sorryfornotbeingsorry. I made these the other night out of desperation. This is how it always happens. I stay at home on a Saturday night, watching The Notebook, thinking about how love isn’t real and no man is ever going to love me like that, then I get bored, then I start wandering around the kitchen, then random ingredients start piling out onto the counter, then I somehow mix these ingredients together, bake them, and a new recipe is suddenly created. If I had planned this out, been emotionally stable, and actually thought more about the ingredients I was incorporating into my dessert, it would have turned out like crap. You can thank my emotional sh*tshow last week for rewarding you with this delicious recipe. You’re welcome.
So the whole reason I was even able to make these amazing little treats is pretty cool. I walked into the house on Saturday, welcomed by 2 packages. Not two dudes, sadly. But FedEx style boxes. Omg was I stoked. You know exactly what I’m talking about…when a package comes to your door and even though you know what it is, you’re still smiling like a school child. Ugh, children. That’s how I felt though. Pissing myself with joy. BUT I had no idea what the packages were. So here is what went down.
- I opened the first package and BOOM…The New Primal sent me some delicious Pocket Paleos!!!! WICCCCKED. I opened one of the packages right on the spot with pineapple in it and dug in. Really good. Nuts, jerky, and dried fruit. How the hell could you go wrong?! Check them out. Love love loved the packs.
- Then I opened the other box. I was kind of in shock when I saw what was in the box. Six bags, six, of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. Like, are you kidding me?
Holy crap, that was a lot of links. I hate that. My b. It had to be done though, it had to be done.
So now I have 6 bags of chocolate and have to figure out what to do with all of them. Jesus my life is full of intense decisions. I live the hard life. Filled with gluten free, dairy free, soy free chocolate. I think that means it’s just pure sugar. But I’m very ok with that. Even more ok with that than I can explain. And once you try these brownies, you will be too.
Here is the warning, if you don’t like dried figs…you’re stupid. Straight up. I’m sorry, but figs are orgasms in your mouth. BUT, just to make sure everyone is satisfied in this relationship of ours, know that you can always substitute the figs for dates. I can’t promise you it’ll taste the same, but whatever. I don’t even care. I warned you.
Fudgy Brownies
- Yield: 6+ 1x
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup dried figs (any stems removed)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 6 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Pull out your handy dandy food processor and add your figs to it. Puree until your figs have broken down evenly.
- Add your melted coconut oil to the processor to mix with the figs.
- Next add your melted chocolate chips and eggs and mix.
- Now add your coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix together.
- So I made these in silicone muffin liners in my muffin tin, filling them up halfway and they cooked perfectly. I’m not sure what they would be like if you baked them in a normal 8×8 baking dish.
- Fill 12 liners with the THICK brownie batter. Yes, it should be that thick. That’s why my brownies look like sh*t in the picture. Totally the brownies fault.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool before consuming. Seriously. They honestly taste even better the second day around!
Notes
This made 12 muffins or fudgy brownie bites-if you must

I ate half a jar of coconut butter during Crazy Stupid Love the other night. Damn that Ryan Gosling!
F*cking Ryan Gosling and his airbrushed body. i.love.him
HAHA I’m a straight guy and I like Ryan Gosling, and these brownies 🙂
is there anything you can use besides the coconut products?
Jenn you could try almond flour and a different oil like grapeseed oil or a nut oil…just not sure it will be exactly the same. you’ll most likely need to use more almond flour though!
Oh man. These look delicious. Once Whole30 is done I may just make them!
Also, is it even possible that George is as nice in real life as he seems to be from the brief glimpses I get through Facebook and so on? Because it is absolutely insane how sweet of a guy he seems.
He’s pretty awesome Jolene!!
These were delightful!
Hahaha good thing I looked at the email. I was going to be impressed that someone had already made them haha. Love u sar.
Juli, I recently found your blog and love it! I too watched the Notebook alone on Saturday night, and ended up making some Cranberry Chocolate Chip macaroons to pass the time. Your Jambalaya is on the menu for tonight!
UMMMMMMMMMM Kate…i think I love you. Any way you can send me that recipe? Jesus that sounds good.
I modified the macaroon recipe from Make it Paleo, reduced the amount of maple syrup and added chopped up dried unsweetened cranberries, orange zest and 1/2 cup, maybe a tad more 🙂 of Enjoy Life mini-chips. They were yummy!
eff. you’re a genius. i’m making these once the stupid strict paleo challenge is over…
Do it Tyler DO IT
A BIG thank you to your emotional sh#* show. FINALLY chocolate brownies in my life again!
Do it Damon, you HAVE to try them!!!
We tried a glutton free mix a while ago and it failed big time. Oh boy is my wife going to love these.. Wednesday night desert surprise? 🙂
Definitely try them!!!
Well we made them, they turned out fantastic! Had to use dates (bows head in shame) as there were no figs at the store. 30sec in the microwave and our food processor was finally able to tear through them lol.
Mm mm mm and you are right, they are actually better the next day!
yayyyy!! glad you made them Joshua!! I was thinking about making with dates too!! day 2 is almost always better with any food
Seriously, could you be any more hilarious? I drop by here atleast once a day to get my ‘laugh on’. And, oh yeah….some good recipes. Thank you!
haha glad SOMEONE thinks I’m funny Whitney 🙂 thank you!!
Please, someone that knows Juli better…make a smart ass comment about the “figs are orgasms in your mouth” line! It’s killing me but I don’t know her like that!!
