Brownie Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- In your standing mixer, or with your hand mixer, beat the sugar and eggs on high for 3-5 minutes, until they are frothy and lighter in color.
- Stir in the remaining brownie ingredients (try not to over-mix).
- Grease an 8″x 8″ pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- Transfer the dough to the pan and spread it evenly with a knife or spoon (Tip: the dough is quite sticky, so you may want to wet your spoon to help spread it more easily).
- Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean.
Icing Instructions
- Place a small pot on the stove on low heat.
- Add all the ingredients and stir until melted. NOTE: Don't let the icing come to a boil, if it does it gets very clumpy.
- Pour over the brownies once they are cooked and allow it to cool.
To serve
- Cut the brownies into pieces, then enjoy!
Notes
