¼cpaleo dark chocolatesuch as Nohmad Raw Dark Chocolate, chopped
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. I use a spring form pan so I only need to line the bottom. If using a traditional pan, line the sides as well.
In a bowl, stir together the almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside for a moment.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add in the coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Beat together until smooth.
Add the dry ingredient to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined
Stir in the chocolate pieces
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the center is set. Do not over bake
Cool the brownies in the pan on a cooling rack until completely cool before cutting into bars. (About 2 hours)
Enjoy!
Notes
It is very important for all of the ingredients to be room temperature. If you combine the melted coconut oil with something cold (eggs, syrup) it will "chunk up" and not mix in properly. I set the eggs out a few hours prior to baking and warm the syrup and coconut oil together in a saucepan over very low heat until the coconut oil melts into the syrup. You don't want these hot, just melted.
