February is birthday month in my family; My twin brother and I are going to be 20 (!!!) and my little sister is going to be 16! I remember when I turned 16 and I thought I was sooooo old and mature. And so now I guess my little sister is old and mature as well. Anyway, my little sis can’t eat coconut flour but I wanted to make her a dessert for her birthday that she’d enjoy, and who doesn’t love caramel brownies?
These have a slightly cakey texture with the delicious sweet frosting. Hope you love them as much as we do!

Wow Heather! I seriously can’t believe these are paleo… they look amazing! Can’t wait to give yet another recipe of yours a try!
P.S. pretty sure you take the best cooking action shots ever!
Also, what temperature did you bake these at? It isn’t listed in the directions above! Thank you for the help!
Can the cocoa powder be substituted with the same measurements of Carob powder? Also, any suggestions for substituting the coconut cream? I have almonds, cashews, and pecans I can cream in the vitamix. But, I’m not sure what nut flavor would work best with this recipe and your input would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks again for your coconut-flour free recipes! You’re a God-send to my son, and you’ve never even met him. Please remember that on those tough days <3
I baked them at 350. Super delicious. I’m a good cook, but not much of a baker, so my husband was elated. These were great. Great texture and great flavor. Thanks for all your recipes Heather. They are so helpful to people with gut health issues. Keep ’em coming. 🙂
What is the oven temp for this recipe? Or is it in plain sight and I just missed it? Wouldn’t be the first time!
Look so yummy!!
I’m out of tapioca starch and live in Spain….so I have to order everything.
Can I sub potato starch for the tapioca?
I would think so; arrowroot starch would work as well.
