Ingredients:
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons dark cocoa
powder
• 2 tablespoons prepared coffee
cool or room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dairy-free chocolate
chips or paleo chocolate
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons
refined coconut oil
• 1/4 cup dairy-free
chocolate chips
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 160º C.
2. In a medium bowl, combine
eggs and coconut sugar. Using
a hand mixer or stand mixer,
beat on high until light and
fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Mixture will have increased in
volume and will be sticky,
rather than thin or runny.
3. Stir in almond flour, coconut
flour, dark cocoa powder,
cooled liquid coffee, and vanilla
extract. Stir until combined.

4. In a medium, microwave-
safe bowl, combine chocolate
chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 60-seconds
bursts, stirring very well in
between each round, until the
chocolate has just melted. Stir
until completely smooth, then
pour into the brownie batter.
Stir well to combine. Fold in
chocolate chips.
5. Line a 9x9" baking pan with
baking paper. Pour brownie
batter into the prepared pan,
making sure batter fills all
corners evenly.
6. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until
a toothpick inserted into the
center of the brownies comes
out with moist crumbs. The
toothpick should not be coated
in batter, but it should not be
clean, either. When you see
moist crumbs, remove from the
oven and let cool completely
on the counter or on a wire
rack.
7. When cool, lift out of the
baking pan using the sides of
the baking paper. Cut into 9
equal squares.
