Servings Brownies

Ingredients

2 cups Dark Chocolate Chunks
⅓ cup Coconut Oil melted and cooled
1 cup Coconut Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 Eggs room temperature
¾ cup Almond Flour
3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
¼ tsp Salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a pot over medium-low heat, melt 1 ⅓ cups of the chocolate along with the coconut oil, stirring constantly until the mixture is thin and silky smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and coconut sugar with a stand mixer, hand beater, or a sturdy whisk. Mix until the mixture doubles in size and becomes slightly thick and sticky, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that signature crackled top layer!
After beating the coconut sugar and eggs thoroughly, add the vanilla and melted chocolate to the bowl. Gently fold everything together with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is completely mixed in.
Next, stir in the almond flour, cacao powder, and sea salt. Fold the batter gently until the flour is fully incorporated and there are no lumps remaining.
Mix in the remaining chocolate chips (about ¾ cup) and stir the batter a few times to evenly distribute them.
Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 8x8 glass baking pan.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the brownies to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting them into squares.

Notes

If you're not using a glass baking dish, you might have to decrease the cook time by 5-10 minutes.
