Ingredients

Ingredients:
12 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips use a sugar-free brand for keto
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
1/2 cup coconut oil
6 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar use powdered sugar-free sweetener for keto
4 eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder optional for more cakey brownies

Equipment

8x8" pan and aluminum foil or parchment paper

Method

(Prepare an 8x8" pan by lining with aluminum foil and greasing with coconut oil. Preheat oven to 350°)
In a medium sauce-pan over low heat, melt chocolate chips, coconut oil, and butter and mix until very smooth. It is important you do this very slow so that the chocolate doesn't burn.
Set aside chocolate and coconut to cool slightly.
In a stand mixer or using a hand-held mixer with a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, coconut sugar or keto-sweetener, and vanilla until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, mix arrowroot powder, cocoa powder, salt, and optional baking powder. You can sift these together if you'd like.
Add the melted chocolate and oil slowly to the egg mixture. Beat until mixture is smooth.
Add the dry ingredients, 1/4 cup at a time. Mix until batter is smooth and shiny.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until center is set.

Notes

Notes & Modifications

**Do not over-mix. Blend the brownie mix until smooth and not any more. Over mixing may cause the brownies to crack and split during baking.

**If you're making the keto option, don't be surprised if the brownies don't look exactly the same. Different sweeteners yield different results.. however, they're all still delicious!

**For more cake-like brownies, feel free to add 1/2 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder to your mix. This MAY cause the brownies to rise and split just a bit, but I promise you they'll go down and even out once you remove them from the oven.

**Feel free to use all butter or all coconut oil. This may change the texture slightly. Be aware, the all coconut oil ones will taste very coconut-y... which some people love!

**If you aren't using baking powder, you may notice your brownies sinking in a bit in the center. This is normal. They will still be delicious.
