Brownie Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325F.
-
Add all the dry ingredients to the bowl of your standing mixer.
-
Melt the chocolate bars by placing them into a microwave safe dish and heating on high for 30 second intervals until melted.
-
Add the melted chocolate bars along with the other wet ingredients to your standing mixer and blend on low until smooth.
-
Line an 8" x 8" glass baking dish with parchment paper.
-
Transfer the dough to the baking dish and spead evenly until smooth. Tip: The dough is very wet and sticky so I find that wetting your spoon repeatedly helps spread the dough more easily.
-
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean.
-
Then make the icing.
Icing Instructions
-
Place the chocolate bar in a microwave safe bowl and melt on high heat in 30 second intervals until melted.
-
Stir the coconut oil and coconut milk into the melted chocolate, until the mix starts to thicken.
-
Spread the icing over the brownies and place the brownies in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until cooled. Then cut them into pieces and enjoy!
