Crackle Top Fudge Brownies (Paleo)
Hello, beautiful! Can you believe these are paleo? And don’t they look way too tempting to be “healthy?”
My favorite part of healthy baking is making paleo treats that don’t taste paleo and satisfy cravings. Because if I want a brownie, in an ideal world it would be healthy, but I want it to be as sweet, fudgey, and crackle-topped as the classic.
Enter: PALEO Crackle Top Fudge Brownies! This is not only the best paleo brownie recipe I’ve experimented with, but probably the best brownie recipe all in all. It’s everything a brownie should be and healthy, too. Anyone who has had a bite of these brownies will lose all color from their face when you tell them that they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free.
This recipe accomplishes that crackle-top crust, which is usually very difficult to come by in paleo baking.
How to make paleo fudge brownies with a crackly top:
Beat the eggs and coconut sugar for 8-10 minutes on high speed. This is a step you cannot skip if you want the contrasting textures of a fudgey inside and crinkle top. The beating process will input air into the batter that will create a meringue-like crust as the brownie bakes.
Melt the coconut oil and chocolate. I use Enjoy Life Semisweet Mini Chips for this recipe, which has a little refined sugar in it. If you want this recipe to be paleo to the T, then use about 7 oz of paleo chocolate. I love the options on Thrive Market!
