I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of sweets. I prefer bacon or my favorite potato chips
, and I’ll actually take vanilla over chocolate any day. But sometimes, chocolate really hits the spot. And it tastes awesome with raw milk. These were pretty dense and gooey, which I love.
Paleo Chocolate Chips Cookie Brownies
These brownies are super easy to make and taste simply divine! They were pretty dense and gooey too, which I love!
Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bottom
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter melted
- 2 eggs
Brownie Top
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips melted
- 1/2 cup raw honey
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Melt the chocolate chips. ( see notes *)
- Combine all ingredients (I used a food processor to make my life easier).
- Line a 9×13 pan with wax paper.
- Press the cookie dough into the bottom.
- Pour the brownie batter over top.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- I ate three in about four minutes.
Notes
*(Don’t skip this step. I didn’t use more cocoa powder because I was out, so I melted the chocolate chips and it worked well. But I don’t know how it would work if you just added the chips instead of melting.)
For this recipe, I use this cacao powder, these chocolate chips, and this organic honey!

Oh thanks! Got the recipe through Primally Inspired’s FB page – We used to make similar on SAD that we called “brookies”. I think I will do the same thing:) My family will be so excited! I used to put in all the cookie dough and then drop in spoonfuls of the brownie mixture…..oh baby, yum! Thanks again!!!
Brookies is so genius! Wish I would have thought of that! I hope you like it, it’s a lil’ more cake-y than a cookie or brownie recipe but we liked it.
What could I use for an egg replacer?
You could try a flax egg or apple sauce but since I haven’t experimented with these I’m not positive how it would work.
Ener-G makes a product called Egg Replacer. I know cause I have a food sensitivity to chicken eggs. You could also try using a different kind of eggs. I find I do not have a reaction when eating duck eggs. While harder to find, they are amazing for baking! Finally, there is a flaxseed option.

Good luck 🙂
People, make this recipe! I have baked them twice and they are decadent! No one will ever suspect they are healthy!
Thank you Mary! Totally made my day! 🙂
So delicious! I made it today and my son loved it! Thank you!
Yay I’m so glad you liked them!
I’m allergic to all nuts. Is there another flour to substitute fir the almond flour?
I’ve heard sunflower seed can be ground and used as a substitute but I haven’t tested it.
Any idea as to calories and carbs?
Hi Becky, I do not count (or advise peopel to count) calories or carbs and instead focus on eating unprocessed, healthy foods.
I count calories to make sure I’m eating enough since I do 2-3 wods a day. And because I unknowingly under eat. Myfitnesspal.com has a recipe builder for those who count and focus on macros. Also caloriecount.com. Seeing how much I eat has improved my sleep and performance.

Can I use coconut flour instead? How much!
Hi Cristina, I have not tested this recipe with coconut flour.
My cookie layer was more batter than dough. I double checked my ingredients & am pretty sure everything was accurately measured. Any ideas why?
It is a little thinner than cookie dough, but not much. Hmm…how did it turn out once baked?
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.
What could you use instead of almond flour I would like to make these for Christmas but my brother is allergic to nuts.
I’m not positive, I haven’t tested it with any other flours. Maybe a gluten-free blend?
has anyone tried to freeze these?
I have! Works well! I actually freeze majority of my desserts to eat whenever I want a healthier treat.
Is it really coconut four in the brownie recipe or is it supposed to be coconut oil? My brownie layer was very thick and it said to pour over the top but definitely not pourable. Thanks!
These look so special with those two layers! Perfect for a potluck.
