Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 flax eggs 2 tablespoons ground flax seed + 6 tablespoons water
- 1 cup flour*
- ⅓ cup cocoa**
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 100 g chocolate bar divided***
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup shredded coconut toasted
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 °F. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray or line them with silicone muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, xix together the ground flaxseed and water and set aside to thicken.
- Prepare your chocolate bar by chopping it into chunks. You'll be melting half of the pieces and stirring in the remaining half towards the end of the preparation.
- In a larger bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder until smooth.
- In a small sauce pan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once the coconut oil is melted, turn off the heat and add in ½ of the chocolate bar chunks. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Add the coconut sugar and vanilla extract to the oil and chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the chocolate liquid into the flour and cocoa mixture, as well as the 2 flax eggs. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in the remaining ½ of the chocolate bar chunks and the toasted coconut.
- Add 2 tablespoon of batter to each muffin cup.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, checking often towards the end of cooking as baking times may vary.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before removing from the pan and serving.
