You want to know something that sucks really bad? Making peach brownies, scooping out the batter, baking them, cutting them, taking pictures of them, and then giving them to other people. Why does this suck? Because I’m a selfish only child who doesn’t like to share? Maybe. But it sucks way more because I literally can’t even taste them. I can’t lick the spoon. I can’t lick the bowl and get a chocolate stain on my forehead. That sounded weird. And I can’t lick the knife AND fork that I cut the brownies with. All because these little bitch brownies have peaches in them. And I’m not eating fruit this month. Stupid. My lord, I sound upset. I’m actually not. I just ate the crap out of 2 heads of broccoli. I really like broccoli. It may be my favorite vegetable, other than sauteed onions of course, but that’s a given. No fruit, all in the name of science. Call me Julio the scientist. Kidding, don’t call me that.
Anyways, I have been experimenting with paleo brownies lately. It just seemed like a good idea to put peaches in them especially since our pallets must stay fructose free this month. Peaches are moist. I love that word. Most people don’t. Moist peaches = moist brownies = happy paleo people. Makes sense.
Paleo Peach Walnut Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips or Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (or grapeseed works well)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or other nut)
- 1–2 peaches, pitted and diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Don’t you hate when you forget? I do.
- First you’re going to need to melt the chocolate. I did it the easy way, microwave. It’s caveman like. Put the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl, threw it in the microwave and let it cook for about 30 seconds, mix and reheat if it needs longer. Just don’t burn the sh*t ok?
- Now add the rest of your ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Add the batter to an 8 x 8 baking dish.
- Bake for 12-20 minutes. I know, big time frame, I get it, I suck. (so many commas) But it has seriously been different every time. Just use the toothpick test.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog Sierra and thank you for writing me a comment. You have no idea how much i appreciate it! Sorry I don't have new blog posts daily, I'll try my best. But when I'm blogging daily, it means i'm eating WAY more than i need to. All in the name of blogging. My weight gain is for making your day better. Just remember that.
Oooh this recipe looks so good!! Did you use yellow peach or white ones or it doesn't matter? I don't have Enjoy Life Chocolate chips, are they already sweetened? Btw love your humor on your posts! 🙂
Ok, these sound good & moist. ;), but really, really sweet! How about puree'ing the peaches and leaving out the honey & agave nectar! Now that would make for a peachy brownie!
Jos I used yellow but either would work!! Enjoy Life are already sweetened!
Rebecca, have you seen the size of my butt? Prob not. Lucky. I obviously LOVE sweets a bit too much. But your suggestion sounds amazing, maybe I will try that for the next batch for our gym. Now I'm just hungry.

I have to make these ASAP. I just don't have any peaches. Dang it! Grocery shopping tomorrow…and I know exactly what you mean, that it sucks to not get any brownies- I made some AMAZING pumpkin cake bars with cinnamon icing (recipe a la Health-Bent) and I gave them to the people at my church for the fall festival…once I set them on the table and realized what I was about to do, I almost took them back to my car. hahahah However, I did lick the spatula. & cut myself a little piece…so it wasn't THAT bad. 🙂
I don’t have coconut flour in the pantry. Sorry! Would soy flour be an okay substitute?
Lovely blog! What can I substitute for agave nectar?
honey 🙂
Just made these but used honey instead of agave syrup and omitted peaches (can’t find them where I am now). Mine took a lot longer to bake, about 30 minutes. They are so good! Glad I found this recipe.
