  • 2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

RecipeInstructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 deg F. Great e a brownie square pan with coconut oil.
  2. On a parchment paper or a tray, mix the coconut flour, the cocoa powder, baking soda a and salt. Keep aside.In a large mixing bowl, add the almond butter and the egg. Whisk or mix using an electric mixer until the egg is well mixed in. Add the coconut oil, vanilla and the maple syrup.
  3. Add the cocoa and the flour mixture into the bowl and continue mixing. The mixture will be very thick at this time which is ok. Now slowly add the hot water in 2-3 portions until it is fully blended.
  4. The batter will not be like the usual brownie batter - it will be very thick which is ok!
  5. Dump the batter onto the grease pan and place pan on lower rack of the pre heated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 mins until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Do not over bake as brownie will get dry)

  1. Melt the chocolate bar using the double boiler method and add the maple syrup and coconut oil to it. Mix until you get a creamy mixture.Spread this on the warm brownie to form an uniform layer.
