The Best Ever Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Brownies made with all gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients, no refined sugars and these healthier brownies are the ultimate fall dessert everyone will love.
Remember those absolutely delicious Healthy Flourless Brownies that have been the number 1 dessert on the blog for months?
Well they got a fall-ish twist and hot damn! Are you guys in for a treat over here.
I spontaneously made these brownies one afternoon when I had leftover pumpkin and I still cannot get over how delicious they are. They are the perfect amount of fudgey meets chocolatey meets perfectly rich yet not too sweet brownies. Oh and did I mention the touch of pumpkin spice? Just what we all want and crave right now.
These brownies make for the ultimate dessert for the holidays, parties or really just any day of the week in my opinion. I have been keeping them in the freezer and I even eat them cold sometimes too when I told feel like warming them up. I am weird – I know. But they are too flipping good.
The ingredients you’ll need to make these healthy pumpkin brownies:
- Creamy tahini or peanut butter – or any creamy nut butter works! Just something oily and nut butters with no additives work best. If it has added sugars and oils, it may be too thick.
- Organic canned pumpkin – this is the perfect recipe that uses up the rest of the canned pumpkin you have from a another recipe. I also look for unsweetened so it isn’t a waste of added sugars.
- Maple syrup – or honey works too!
- Coconut sugar – you can also use regular cane sugar or some people use some of the monk fruit type sugars too.
- Egg or flax eggs – either will work well!
- Cacao powder – the main star of the show to get these extra brownie like. I haven’t used cocoa powder but it should works.
- Chocolate chips – any kind you prefer!
How to make flourless paleo pumpkin brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or grease well
- Whisk together tahini, pumpkin, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla and eggs until smooth
- Mix in the cacao powder and baking powder very well
- Fold in chocolate chips then add batter to baking dish and bake for 25 minutes
- Remove from oven and allow to cool (if you can!) and slice and enjoy!

This has become my go-to brownie recipe. So simple and delicious. I’ve made them with peanut butter and almond butter, and both turned out perfect.

These are absolutely delicious! Exactly what I was looking for at 9 months pregnant 🤣🫶🏼❤️ Super fudgy and just the right amount of sweetness. Although I enjoyed the pumpkin spice, (it gave the brownies a Mexican chocolate taste) I think I’ll leave it out next time for a more classic brownie. Yum!
Rachel
YAY!!
