Amazing & Easy Fudgey Brownies


This fudge brownie recipe is one of the best I have ever tried when attempting to make a brownie from scratch. Check out this recipe and let me know YOUR thoughts about it! It's really easy to make, and you will not regret it!


Remember that using good ingredients is the key to making a good tasting dessert, and at the same time, it's good food for your body. Let's fuel ourselves with the good stuff!

Serves: 15-20

INGREDIENTS
* 1 Cup Coconut Oil or Butter (I use the coconut oil.)
* 2 Cups Coconut Raw Sugar (Dark or Light Brown Sugar are optional)
* 1/4 Cups Light or Dark Brown Sugar (Any raw sugar would also work here!)
* 4 Large Eggs
* 1 1/4 Cups Dark Cocoa Powder (I like Trader Joe's Cocoa Powder)
* 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
* 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
* 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
* 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
* 1/2 Cup Oat Flour
-Tip: If you do not have almond or oat flour, just use the whole wheat. Feel free to experiment. Just remember to always use a little more of the wheat flour than the others in order to have the right consistency. Check out previous blogs on how to very quickly and easily make almond and oat flour in your own home!
* 1 Tablespoon Milled Flax Seeds
* 2 Cups Dark Chocolate Chips

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Grease a 9" x 13" pan with coconut cooking spray if you have it. Another option is if you have coconut oil, melt a little and spread it on the pan.
3. On the stove, set a saucepan over low heat.
4. In the saucepan melt the coconut oil, and remove from the heat once it has melted.
5. Add the sugar, and stir until combined.
6. Return to the low heat and stir until melted and hot, but not bubbling!
7. While the sugar is heating up, crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, and beat them with the cocoa, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
8. Add the butter and sugar mixture into the bowl and stir until smooth.
9. Add the flour, flax seeds, and chocolate chips to the mixture, and stir until smooth.
10. Spoon the batter into your favorite pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
11. Your brownies are ready when inserting a cake tester (or knife) into the center and it comes out clean. The brownies should be very moist! Let it cool, cut, and enjoy this delicious treat!
