Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges are slightly overlapping for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even ingredient distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to create a uniform batter without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully lift out using parchment paper edges and transfer to a wire rack.
- Allow to cool completely for approximately 30 minutes before cutting into 12 equal squares.
- Optional: Drizzle with additional melted chocolate or dust with powdered cocoa for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Sifting is crucial: Take extra time to sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Don't overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated to keep the bars tender and light.
- Use room temperature eggs: They blend more easily and help create a more uniform batter.
- Check for doneness early: Coconut flour can dry out quickly, so start checking your bars around 20 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or applesauce to the wet ingredients.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
