Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.33 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and honey (or maple syrup) until fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl. Whisk again until smooth and slightly frothy.
Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl, then add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips and nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is set but still soft and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then lift them out using the parchment paper or carefully cut them into squares in the dish.
Serve and enjoy your healthier one bowl brownies!
