Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • shy 3/4 cup Coconut Oil 1 Tbs less than 3/4 cup
  • 5 ounces weight Unsweetened Chocolate or substitute with 3/4 cup Semi-Sweet/Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Coconut Sugar or Granulated Sugar of choice
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 3 Eggs or 3 Chia-Eggs 9 Tbs water mixed with 3 Tbs chia seeds
  • 1-1/4 cup White Whole Wheat Flour G-f if needed
  • 3/4 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips make sure they are dairy-free if needed
  • optional top with a sprinkle of nuts or topping of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the coconut oil in microwave, about 1 minute. Stir in 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate until melted. Microwave another 30 seconds and stir again if chocolate is not yet melted. Stir until you get a smooth melted chocolate mixture (alternatively, melt the coconut oil together with the chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat on the stovetop). When mixture is smooth, add cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for approximately 5 minutes.
  3. After mixture is cooled a bit, stir in sugar and vanilla until just combined And then stir in the eggs or chia-eggs, one at a time.
  4. Next add flour and stir until halfway mixed, add chocolate chips stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into an un-greased 8 x 8 baking pan, sprinkle with nuts if desired, and bake about 40 minutes or until the edges are just browning and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Brownies may look a little oily at first, but the brownies will absorb the oil.
