    Baked Almond Pulp Brownies (paleo, grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free)

    Published Dec 12, 2013

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These über-chocolatey almond pulp brownies are an easy and delicious way to use up almond pulp leftover from making nut milk. This reader-favorite almond pulp recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, and refined sugar-free to boot.

    What to do with Almond Pulp?

    The question every nut milk aficionado finds themselves asking is "what to do with all the pulp?" I've recently found myself in the same quandary. I make a batch of my favorite homemade vanilla maple almond milk or this almond cashew milk that I like in my green smoothies once a week.

    The nut pulp quickly adds up. 

    Organic almonds and cashews aren't cheap. Tossing cups and cups of pulp into the compost every week feels a little like throwing wads of cash in the toilet. I managed to get the pulp down to more reasonable amounts by using a combination of cashews and almonds in the milk; since cashews are mostly fat, they have less fiber to leave behind.

    But still, the nut pulp increases.

    spoonfuls of dry ingredients for almond pulp recipe

    Many almond pulp recipes are of the raw vegan variety. During a previous nut milk phase, I tried making one of these – a layer cake comprised of nut pulp mixed with coconut oil, pureed dates, and flavorings. The recipe made about ten gallons of cake, with a soggy texture that I did not find delicious.

    We reluctantly ate it until we never wanted to think about nut milk or raw cakes again.

    Next I tried drying out the nut pulp, whizzing it in a coffee grinder, and baking it into cookies loaded with chocolate chips and spelt flour. But the drying/grinding process was tedious, and the recipe didn't use enough to really put a dent in the growing mountain of pulp.

    Almond Pulp Recipes to the Rescue

    I needed a solution, and decided that almond pulp brownies might be a good way to go, since they're mostly held together with eggs, sugar, and chocolate or cocoa powder. But most of the almond pulp brownie recipes I found were both raw and vegan, and I wasn't about to repeat the dreadful cake experience.

    Luckily, a couple of recipes set me on the right path: these Grain-Free Fudgy Brownies from Detoxinista, and this Amazing Chocolate Cake from The Veggie Voyager. I took a stab at an almond pulp brownie recipe using ingredients I had on hand – unrefined sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, nut pulp, coconut oil, and salt.

    They were some of the best brownies I've ever tasted – deeply chocolatey with a top note of coconut, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture reminiscent of flourless chocolate cake. (In fact, bake this in a round cake pan and serve wedges with whipped cream, and you'll have yourself one fancy-pants dessert.)

    An Easy Almond Pulp Brownie Recipe

    For this almond pulp recipe, I like to whip the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, which gives the batter some lift; but I've also successfully made these brownies by simply whisking all the ingredients together. The nut pulp goes in damp – no drying or grinding necessary. It will keep refrigerated for up to a week, or you can freeze it for a month or two.

    Despite my best efforts, the brownie tops refuse to form a pretty crust on top, but a flutter of cacao nibs disguises this fact, and also adds a habit-forming crunch. Or you can do as one commenter suggested and slather them with a layer of dairy-free chocolate ganache.

    Despite tasting super rich and decadent, these almond pulp brownies are relatively healthy, being free of grains, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. They're also paleo! Best of all, they use up almost a whole cup of almond pulp.

    Of course, the best accompaniment to warm, chocolatey brownies is a tall glass of cool, fresh almond milk, so you may find yourself in a bit of a vicious cycle.

    Or a virtuous cycle, depending.

    Baked Almond Pulp Brownies {Paleo, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free}

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    These fudgy brownies are a great way to use up nut pulp leftover from making nut milk at home, and they're naturally free of gluten, grains, and dairy. Your nut pulp should be well-squeezed so that it feels like crumbly moist clay. See the ingredient photo at the start of the post for a visual! More recipe notes below.
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 20 minutes
    Total: 35 minutes
    Servings: 16 (2-inch square) brownies.

    Ingredients

    For the brownies:

    • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
    • 1 ¼ cups coconut sugar, maple sugar, or brown sugar (7 ounces / 200 grams)
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • ½ cup extra-virgin coconut oil (4 ounces / 110 grams)
    • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons packed moist almond pulp or other nut pulp (6 ounces / 170 grams)
    • 1 cup cocoa powder (preferably dutch-processed, though natural or raw will work, too) (3.25 ounces / 90 grams)
    • 2-3 tablespoons cacao nibs (optional)

    Instructions

    Make the brownies:

    • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF (175ºC). Line the bottom and sides of an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the eggs, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Meanwhile, gently melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan set over a medium-low flame. Add the nut pulp and stir to combine. Continue to heat, stirring frequently, until the nut pulp mixture is warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. (This prevents the batter from seizing up when all the ingredients are added.)
    • Turn the mixer to low, and add the nut pulp mixture, stirring just to combine. Sift the cocoa powder over the egg mixture and mix on low until just combined; the batter will deflate a lot.
    • Spread the batter in the lined pan, sprinkle with the cacao nibs, and bake until the brownies are matte on top, slightly puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging, 15-20 minutes. Don't overbake.
    • Let cool completely, then lift the brownie out of the pan and cut into 16 squares. The brownies keep well, airtight at room temperature, for up to three days.

    Notes

    The best thing about these brownies, aside from being free of grains, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, is that they use up the leftover pulp from making Cashew Almond Milk or Vanilla Maple Almond Milk, or any other nut pulp you may have on hand. The pulp should have been firmly squeezed dry but still slightly damp, similar in texture to clay.
    If you lack a stand mixer or are in a hurry, you can simply whisk together all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
    Do take the time to warm the almond pulp and bring the eggs to room temperature (you can place them in a bowl of hot tap water for 5 minutes) as this will prevent the batter from seizing once you add the coconut oil.
    I baked these in a 9-inch square pan; an 8-inch pan will yield thicker brownies. Alternatively, bake the batter in a round cake pan and serve wedges on plates topped with whipped cream.
    Another way to fancy these up would be to top the cooled brownies with a layer of dairy-free chocolate ganache - yum!

      I love the flavour, but mine turned out more fluffy like cake than dense like a brownie. What can I do to make them more dense? Less egg? More oil? Shorter cook time? I checked after 15 minutes and they were still liquid. I checked again after 5 more minutes and they were fully cooked yet still moist. Any tips are appreciated!

        Hi Matt, I'm wondering how dry your almond pulp was? I'd wager that more moisture=cakier brownies. That said, mine are always more delicate than typical fudgy brownies, but still fairly dense as you can see from the pics. :)

          The almond was quite wet. It went straight into the freezer and then defrosted in the fridge before I made them. I'm thinking I over cooked. I have more left so I'm going to try again with a shorter cook time.

            Aha! Ok, give that almond pulp a good squeeze in a nut milk bag to get it as dry as possible first and I think you'll be happier with the finished texture. You can also spread the pulp on a baking sheet and dry it out in a low oven, as some commenters have done. Let me know how it goes!

      Thank you so much for the recipe. Great to use up the almond pulp. Thanks as well for the consideration of writing options for degrees Celsius and measurements by weight in grams. I cook with a Thermomix, so weights in recipes is awesome (and hard to come by). I was a bit naughty and spooned some out to eat as a hot dessert straight from the oven. Amazing. The rest will cool down for slicing like the recipe recommends.

      The best brownies ever!! I make a batch of cashew or almond milk ever week and was tired of the 2 recipes that I have been using for leftover pulp. I have been making them with cashew pulp but plan on making them with almond pulp soon. They taste so good frozen too. I have chopped the brownies into smaller pieces and stirred into coconut milk ice cream for an extra special treat :) Your photography is beautiful! Thank you so much!!

      Yeay, I finally made these.. With slightly less coconut sugar (just 10 gr less), and less cocoa powder, i used butter instead of coconut oil as I don't have them. My kids say they're good but a bit too bitter. I use dutch cocoa.. I will cut down the sugar and cocoa powder next time. I think the texture hold up quite nicely for gluten free baked goods. I also baked them much longer, because when i check on 24min, the center was not done yet. Finally i take them out at 34 min. So glad i can use up the pulp.. Thanks for the great recipe ^^

      These are in the oven right now and they smell divine! I used brown coconut sugar instead of white, and basically cut the recipe into 3/4. So only 3 eggs, 2/3 cup sugar and cacao powder, and a little less coconut oil. I used a full cup of the hazelnut pulp (I made hazelnut milk yesterday and that’s what made me find your recipe! I was trying to figure out what to do with the pulp!), packed. I will let you know how mine turn out!

        Update: they were so good I couldn’t wait for them to cool down all the way. While they were still hot I added some paleo chocolate chunks (not a lot, just about a tablespoon) and let them melt. They were a bit crumbly, but I didn’t really mind! They were also moist and delicious! It’s my first time cooking with coconut sugar (brown coconut sugar in my case) and I was pleased! I normally bake with maple syrup or honey! I thought the salt was delicious, but some people might find it too salty for their tastes. Thanks for sharing the recipe! They tasted just like Nutella with a bit of salt thrown in!

        I think the batter will be very wet if you use maple syrup, but you could use maple sugar and it would probably not need any other changes! Let me know if you experiment!

      Thank you, thank you, thank you! We've tried several different recipes for using up our nut pulp and this is THE BEST! Okay...it's chocolate, and sugar, so probably not great for the waistline, but so good. I used regular oil and an 8x8 pan. It took a good bit longer than 20 minutes, but that could be due to a lot of different factors. But it doesn't matter.....these are yummy! I'll be making them again, but likely taking them into work rather than keeping them at home. Just the husband and me and already half the pan is gone!
      Thank you again for your creative genius!

          I haven't and I'm not sure it will work given that coconut flour is so much more absorbent than other nut flours. If you try it you might want to start with half the amount of pulp. Please let me know if you experiment!

        Hi Jasmine! Dairy refers to milk products specifically, so eggs are technically dairy free. I would recommend using two flax or chia eggs, and then two eggs' worth of a powdered egg replacer that contains a raising agent.

      I am new to the Almond Milk pulp leftovers. I just tried the Detoxinista's recipe and like it. This one uses more almond milk. I like that. I am going to try it. Question: why arent you using any Baking Soda? Doesn't that make it rise a bit?
      I am also going to add 1/4 cup of ground flax seed and decrease sugar and oil. I am sure it will come out great.

      Thank you for your response. I will let you know how it comes out.

        Hi Caroline,

        Those are great questions! I don't use baking soda because whipping the eggs with the sugar fluffs up the brownies enough. But if you want to try adding leavening after you test them once, by all means give it a try and see what happens! Let me know how it works with the ground flax and less sugar and oil. I hope you enjoy them!

That sounds like an exaggeration but as a mom of a 2yo it's amazing to be able to sit down in the evening and slowly savor one of these melt-in-your-mouth, deeply chocolatey brownies. I follow the recipe exactly but embrace the coconut flavor and top with shredded unsweetened coconut. Thank you so much for this amazing treat.

      (Used cashew pulp - a bit more than in the recipe, palm sugar mixed with a bit of coconut syrup - amount reduced slightly, added a bit of expresso powder. Turned out very light and moist at the same time, a bit bitter due of the type of cocoa used.)

        I'm so glad you liked the recipe and that it helped you use up your pulp stash! Though I'm sorry they didn't hold together well when cut. The moisture in the nut pulp could definitely be the culprit. Please let me know if you try the recipe again with drier pulp! It should be dry enough to crumble, like in the first photo. I'll add some more detail to the recipe!

      Trying this keto style with Allulose instead of raw sugar. This is pretty much the only substitution I needed to make. It takes a bit more Allulose since it is only 70% as sweet as sugar so just a little more than a 1 1/2 cups Allulose. I topped these with my favorite nut, pecans! Great recipe! Total baking time in an 8x8 pan was around 43 minutes with this change.

      I'm a little late to the party, but I do have one question. I've been drying my nut pulp, grinding it up, and storing it in the cupboard. Would you suggest I wet it a bit to use it in this recipe? Thanks!

        Hi Claire, I'm glad folks are still finding their way to this favorite recipe! Hmmmm that's a good question. I'm kind of curious how it would turn out if you used your dry nut pulp as a dry ingredient and added it with the cocoa powder. I *think* the eggs and sugar would provide enough moisture, you would just shorten the baking time as needed. Otherwise you can absolutely add some water or nut milk to the pulp to get it to that clay-like consistency. Please let me know what you try!

      These are probably the best brownies I've ever eaten which says a lot because I consider myself a bit of a brownie connoisseur ;) They have a PERFECT texture being gooey yet chewy at the same time! I substituted coconut oil for sunflower oil and used slightly less sugar! I was a bit worried since some of the pulp had almond chunks in it but this made the brownies even better as they had a slight bite to them! Highly recommend these!!!

    Panzanella is a glorious way to feature summer pro Panzanella is a glorious way to feature summer produce. Toasted bread sops up juices from ripe tomatoes while basil and olive oil add punch. I (@the_bojon_gourmet ) like adding @hodofoods Moroccan tofu cubes for instant protein and extra flavor. They give this salad marinated feta vibes while keeping it vegan!

To stay with the Mediterranean theme, I add kalamata olives, cucumber, and a kicky oregano dressing. Think Greek salad meets panzanella!

Serve this right away as a vegan main dish, or bring it to a picnic or potluck. Get the recipe @hodofoods! #panzanella

    Paleo Vegan Berry Peach Cobbler 🫐🍑 This rus Paleo Vegan Berry Peach Cobbler 🫐🍑

This rustic summer fruit dessert combines berries and peaches with floofy #glutenfree biscuits. Swapping in finely ground @go_raw organic sprouted pumpkin seeds in place of almond flour makes this nut-free as well. Pumpkin seeds give the biscuits a lovely green hue and loads of buttery flavor. Don’t forget the ice cream! 

Fruit:
1 ¼ pounds peaches or nectarines, in thick wedges (4 cups)
4 ounces (1 cup) blueberries
3 tablespoons (30 g) maple syrup
2 teaspoons tapioca flour
pinch fine sea salt

Biscuits:
½ cup (75 g) cassava or GF AP flour
½ cup (70 g) @go_raw sprouted pumpkin seeds, finely ground
3 tablespoons (30 g) maple sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons (56 g) cold, unsalted butter or vegan butter in ¼-inch dice
¼ cup (60 g) coconut yogurt
¼ cup (60 g) plant milk 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

for finishing:
2 teaspoons maple or coconut sugar
¼ teaspoon cardamom or cinnamon
1 tablespoon plant milk
plant-based vanilla ice cream, for serving

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400ºF.

In a large bowl, toss together the peach slices, maple syrup, tapioca flour, and salt. Scrape into a baking dish (7x10” oval or 9” pie plate) and bake until the fruit is warm and juicy, 15-20 minutes.

Whisk together the cassava and pumpkin seed flours, maple sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter bits and rub with your fingers until the butter is somewhat worked in with some pea-sized bits remaining.

In a small bowl, stir together the 2 teaspoons maple sugar and the cinnamon for topping the biscuits.

Place the yogurt, milk, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Place over a low flame and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot and steamy. Pour the hot dairy mixture into the flour/butter mixture and quickly but gently stir with a flexible silicone spatula until just combined. Scoop small lumps of dough over the fruit. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are golden on top and cooked through and the fruit is bubbling vigorously, 20-30 minutes. Serve warm.

These GF shortcake biscuits are tender and buttery thanks to a blend of gluten-free flours (almond, oat, and rice) plus butter and cream. I’ve included dairy-free and vegan options too! 

✨Tip: if you don’t have any whipped cream on hand, use thick coconut yogurt for a tasty dairy free option like I did here. 

Bojon appétit my loves!
