From Kitchen to Table
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease an 8×8″ square pan or line it with parchment for easy cleanup one less thing to worry about.
- In a large bowl, mix eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla, and oil until smooth and fully combined. This step is calming and sets a gentle pace for the rest of the process.
- Add cocoa powder, almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda right on top. Stir until the mixture is thick, rich, and free of lumps, like a cozy little baking ritual.
- Fold in half the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a soft swirl. Sprinkle the remaining chips for a golden, bakery-style finish.
- Bake for 25 minutes. The top will look set and slightly glossy, while the center should jiggle just a touch if you gently tilt the pan. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick along the edges it should come out clean.
- If you need a bit more time, give the brownies another 5 minutes. Remove, let them cool completely, and feel the anticipation build as the aroma fills your kitchen.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 squares for sharing or 9 for a heartier portion. For the neatest squares, chill them in the fridge after cooling a small touch that makes serving even easier and more satisfying.
