I call these my “half coconut brownies” as for this batch I used half coconutty ingredients such as oil, sugar & flour. But all could be substituted for regular flours or butters you have on hand. Crispy outside and chewy, fudgy center makes for the perfect indulgent treat.

Ingredients

  • Wet

  • 100g Butter or Oil (Melted, I used Coconut oil)

  • 120g Sugar (I used unrefined Coconut sugar, but any will do!)

  • 100g Brown Sugar

  • 1 tbsp Vanilla

  • 2 Flax Eggs (or regular, non-vegan!)

  • Dry

  • 100g Flour (I used 1/2 regular flour and 1/2 coconut flour)

  • 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum (not necessary if your flour already has it)

  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 45g Cacao/Cocoa Powder

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350/160 c Fan. Prep an 8×8 dish with parchment paper.
  • Mix WET ingredients until well incorporated. In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients and then slowly fold in dry to wet.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for ~35 minutes until edges are hardened and middle will still be a bit gooey.
