Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil* or butter, or use half of each
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips I recommend Enjoy Life Brand
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 cup additional chocolate chips, coconut flakes or nuts for topping optional

Instructions

  1. Line an 8 or 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper (you can use a round or square pan) and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, melt coconut oil and chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently. Add maple syrup and coconut sugar and continue to stir occasionally until coconut sugar has melted, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and vanilla with a hand mixer for one minute. Add cocoa powder and salt and beat one minute more.
  4. While still mixing with the mixer or using a whisk by hand, slowly drizzle the hot chocolate and sugar mixture into the egg mixture. SLOWLY. Once all chocolate/sugar has been incorporated, mix for one more minute.
  5. Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle with topping, if using. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until just set in the center (very slight jiggle).
  6. Remove pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool before cutting.
