These are by far the best Paleo brownies that I have made or had. A lot of my baked goods are delicious but these are just straight up amazing and the possibilities are endless for adding fruits or nuts or some Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. I hope you enjoy this absolutely amazing treat and make sure you share :). If you do not have Coconut Cream Concentrate, if you have patience and a really good blender or food processor, you can make it yourself. Thanks to my awesome fan Krystal Caddow-Levine for posting her success with this. She found the instructions here.
- 1 cup coconut cream concentrate
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup raw organic honey
- 1/2 cup fresh apricots, diced
- 1/4 cup organic cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit
- Place all of your ingredients together in a mixing bowl except your apricots
- Use your hand mixer and form your batter
- Once mixed well, fold in your apricots by hand and ensure an even distribution
- Pour your batter into a greased 8×8 baking dish (grease with coconut oil)
- Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until your brownies pass the toothpick test
- Remove from oven, let cool
- Cut and Enjoy

Can you use pure coconut oil instead of the cream?
I was thinking of adding some Tahini instead of the Apricots, do you think they will still work out?
I think it would, sounds delicious
Hi George. I only have a metal 8×8, not glass. How do think that would affect the outcome/cooking time? Thanks!
It will just cook faster
Hi George,
These sound amazing. My Paleo husband is always asking me to make new treats. I have Coconut Butter. Is that the same as Coconut Cream Concentrate? Thanks!!!
Yes it is
These look so good. Have you tried them with out the fruit? Or is that an integral part of the recipe?
You can do them without the fruit for sure
how do you make/ What ratio would you use to make the CCC from the little green package from Let’s Do Organic?
I have never used it so I honestly don’t know
I really wanna try making these, but being from the UK I don’t understand cup measures or the conversions at all! Does anyone know the recipe in grams?

They were great! Used dried cherries. Made them yesterday. Will eat the last one in a few minutes!
Oh that sounds yummy
Just made some… very good! Are you supposed to melt the coconut cream concentrate or no… just throw it in and mix? Thanks
Melt it
Now these I HAVE to try! Can’t wait!!!
Hope you love them
SO good!!! I’ve made them with apricots previously, and today I’m going to whip up a batch with dried cherries. Sweets are my weakness, so I’m very glad to have paleo-friendly dessert options. Thanks for sharing this one!
So glad you enjoyed and hope its delicious with cherries
This recipe is money…instead of apricots i used the maple bacon from the brownie bacon bites recipe and added a couple scoops of protein powder to fit my macro needs. Love how a lot of your recipes are a great base to get inventive with other stuff in the kitchen.
I love it. So glad you enjoyed and got them to your specs.
Krystal’s recipe is for coconut butter – if I just used it (instead of coconut cream concentrate) how much would I need? Thank you
Coconut butter is the same thing, use the same amount
Do you think this would work with coconut milk instead of condensed coconut cream? I live in Costa Rica and don’t have access to the ccc.
No it wouldn’t. That Is what thickens them. Search my site for the blueberry banana brownies cause you can do those
These look amazing! Anyone tried with dried apricots?
I have made them with dried apricots as well, they are still yummy
Wow, these are gorgeous and just my kind of brownie too. Best of all, you linked to my little blog for the coconut cream component. I just LOVE responsible bloggers who credit others while sharing such healthy recipes. Yummm & thanks ;-)
Success Janel, hope you enjoy, don't eat them all at once :)
Okay just took them out 20 minutes ago. Are you kidding me?!!! These are absolutely the best brownies I have ever had, even better than "regular" ones!!!! I see why all the ladies want to marry you, lol! You totally just kept me perfectly paleo for the whole month if you know what I mean, lol!
Janel those are going to be amazing
Making these as we speak but using pumpkin instead of apricots since I had some leftover from making your pumpkin pancakes:) Will see how they turn out!

Wow, delicious! I made them with peaches – I think I will skip the fruit and go a little easier on the honey for a truly scrumptious dessert. They are soooooo good after being in the fridge overnight. Hands-down the best and fudgiest brownies EVER. Even grain-eaters would love this.
In this recipe nothing, you can go make my Blueberry banana brownies and replace the blueberries with apricots if you want. That one uses almond butter
Question – I am allergic to Coconut so what could i use in place of the coconut concentrate
Thank you, pamj8642@gmail.com
I am so glad you liked them, they sound amazing with Dates
Hey George – I tried them with dates and omg its like sticky date and chocolate made a baby! LOL it's delicious!
Sweet mercy, holy man. These look amazing.
Oh let me know how you like them with Dates
This looks awesome! I think I'll make mine with some dates I've got in the cupboard though.
They are amazing
Awesome! Can't wait to make some!
