• 1/3 cup cacao powder • 1 1/4 cups 1:1 gluten-free baking flour • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (72% recommended)
For the topping:
• ½ cup white chocolate chips • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions:
• Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper. • Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, avocado oil, and coconut sugar until combined. • Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the cacao powder and baking flour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips. • Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until cooked through (use a toothpick to check the center; if it comes out clean, they’re ready). • Add the topping: While the brownies are still warm, sprinkle the white chocolate chips and flaky sea salt evenly over the top. Let the chocolate melt slightly, then gently spread with a knife. • Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Enjoy! Pro tip: These brownies will store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
