This is probably one of the toughest recipes I have ever worked on.
I reworked it six times until I finally got it right and even now I’m wondering if I should tweak it just a bit more.
First, your brand of tapioca flour really affects the outcome of your baked goods. I cheated on my beloved Bob’s Red Mill and it was like I was working with a completely different animal.
I will not make the same mistake again.
Anyhow, the morning this baby finally came together was a dozy. We’re gearing up for The Little and Mr. Bejelly’s birthday and we decided to rent a pressure washer to clean the deck and pool area and, well, I had my fears because I did not marry a handy man.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses and my husband is “allergic” to machinery and computers.
Like oil and water they do not mix and after that episode, I needed something dark and sweet and chocolaty.
Thank the Universe this recipe for Paleo Brownies finally came together.
A couple of tips:
1. Wait until it cools completely to cut it. If you cut into it when it’s warm, it will be very crumbly and might not stick together!
2. Use Bob Red Mill’s Tapioca Flour!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of coconut oil melted
- ⅔ cups coconut sugar
- 4 Tablespoons of Cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- In mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and mix with a heat resistant spatula until you have a thick, almost cookie like dough.
- Pour this into a greased 8" round cake pan.
- With the spatula push the dough so that it covers the bottom of the pan.
- Place in your oven and cook for 15 - 17 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting.

Does this have a strong coconut taste? Nobody on my family likes coconut and I’d hate to make these and have nobody eat them. Thanks!
My husbands hate the taste of coconut and he loves these. I hope you enjoy them Pam
