These Paleo Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies {gluten free + dairy free} are the chewiest, moistest, fudgy, chocolate, pumpkin flavored brownies ever. Chocolate base with a pumpkin pie-like topping, make each bite a bit of a delight. Gluten free, dairy free, paleo friendly and vegetarian.
When I was making my third batch of these, don’t ask the first two somehow disappeared before photos were taken, I realized I have a real problem with not letting a single drop off ingredients go to waste when cooking. I scrape as much as humanly possible at the bottom of the bowl to get every last bit of chocolate batter. I use my finger, a spoon, my finger again to get ever drop of pumpkin mix off the spatula, and a spoon again.
I am not sure what that compulsion is, OCD, waste not want not, having a Catholic mother… no that can’t be it, sorry Mom. Or could it be I freaking love chocolate and pumpkin?
I am going with the chocolate and pumpkin, cuz in my book, there’s just one rule to live by- The more chocolate the better. These Paleo Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies leave me praising the Cocoa Goddesses.
This brownie recipe is a must, must, must try, even if you could care less about paleo, you must try!
The brownie is a twist on two classics, the basic brownie, and pumpkin pie. The brownie base is a dense moist chocolate cocoa heaven and the pumpkin pie topping is loaded with that fabulous pumpkin flavor with a sweet creamy consistency.
Are you as much as a cocoa goddess loving person as me? Then whip up a batch of these and don’t forget if you make this recipe, please let me know! Leave a comment below or take a photo and tag me on Instagram or Twitter with #ahealthylifeforme.

These look insanely fudgy and delicious!! I don’t follow a paleo diet, but I will definitely have to try these brownies!
They are definitely not for those who follow paleo, they are delicious for every diet!
These look so delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Those look even fudgier than regular brownies…plus they’re grain free? GENIUS.
Thanks Megan!
These are in my oven now….can’t wait to try one, though I am not sure I will be getting 16 servings out of my 8 x 8 Pyrex pan!
Hi Pamela, After I made these a few times, I cut them into smaller squares, which gave me 16. They are very rich so it worked for my tastes. You go for bigger squares and enjoy every bite. These are my favorite fall brownies.
What can I use instead of arrowroot?
You can use Tapioca starch Paola
I want to make these for thanksgiving and make them the night before. Would you refrigerate them overnight?
You can refrigerate them overnight and they will hold up fine. I actually prefer them cooled.
I just made these and had to get back on your website just to tell you that i think they are AMAZING!!!!! This is a bib win win for my kids. Thank you, thank you, THANK you!
Woot-Woot! Thanks for letting me know Brooke! You made my day!
