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 just made these on Saturday..and had to make another batch on Sunday, because my boys scarfed them down and the husband didn’t get any. Hands down the best tasting and best textured brownie we’ve found. I baked them in an 8×8 greased pan for 20 minutes, and they were perfect.
Glad you and your family liked they Gaelyn!!
Tried them and loved them!
I created a blog post about it. AND I took an awesome pic. Check it out

Thank you for the recipe! I want to try so many other things. I’m new to Paleo but I am so excited to see so many options. 🙂
Oooo they look awesome Carmen! Hope you try more recipes out!
Criminy, these are good! I have been trying to cut out refined sugar and grains, but my financé has not. So, we have come to a beautiful agreement with your treats. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Perfect agreement, glad you both liked them!
Absolutely delicious!!! I am trying not to devour in one sitting!! That would be bad. But these are so good! Thank you!!!!
Glad you liked them Rena!
These were fantastic, made them on sunday…I ate half the batch before I shared any…
I decided I wanted more today and made a whole new batch but tweaked the recipe some…Instead of 1/2c chocolate chips I used 3/4, added 1c pecan pieces, and 1c unsweetened coconut, 2 tbsp of vanilla and then rolled them into balls (1tbsp) and then baked for 25 minutes…chewyyy fantasticness 🙂
love your blog, but its dangerous, i want to eat everything on your website.
Oh wow that sounds fantastic Sara!! Love it! Glad you’re liking the blog!
liking the blog is an understatement…it is perma linked onto my phone and my computer.
That’s freaking awesome Sara 🙂
um, wow! These are freaking amazing. Probs shouldn’t have eaten them right before thrusters/pull ups/running, but it was totally worth it 🙂
Lol TOTALLY worth it!
THESE ARE SO MOTHER EFFING GOOD. First time I made them, I made a HUGE goof and wrote down .5c choc chips and failed to see the . while measuring. Those were some very CHOCOLATEY brownies! whoops! These are totes better than ANY brownie Ive ever made. ::HIGH FIVE!::
Glad they turned out better the second time!!
OMG is right! I made these with my daughter tonight – had to make a double batch, and used almond flour and dates instead of coconut flour and figs. Processed dates with the coconut oil. It was like German Chocolate cake frosting for a moment. I’m gushing. Seriously, best Freaking Brownies EVER. No really. EVER.
That’s freaking awesome Kristn!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi! love your site, but was wondering if the evaporated cane juice in the chocolate chips is still considered paleo?
Thanks!
Not exactly Lauren. So that is up to you if you want to consume that or not 🙂
I think I might have done something wrong! Mine turned out very dry…any words of wisdom? I baked them for 20 minutes.
🙁
I’m thinking maybe a little bit too much coconut flour….
should I cut back to 5?
yeah try that out!
I think I’m gonna have to tho….they look DELISH!!
