INGREDIENTS

6 TBSP COCONUT OIL OR BUTTER, MELTED • 1 CUP GHIRIDELLI DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS • 1/4 - 1/2 CUP SUGAR OR MADHAVA SIMPLA • 2 LARGE EGGS • 2 TBSP COCOA POWDER • 3 TBSP ARROWROOT POWDER (CAN SUBSTITUTE FOR CORN STARCH) TAPIOCA STARCH

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper or tin foil, with some overlay for easy removal. Grease it lightly and set aside.

2. In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, combine your chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter and melt together. Once just combined, remove from the heat.

3. Add the sugar of choice and whisk into the chocolate mixture. Then, add the eggs one at a time, and whisk in. Add your cocoa powder and arrowroot powder and whisk VERY well, until the batter is no longer grainy and smooth.

4. Transfer the brownie batter to the lined baking tray. Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes, or until the center just comes out clean. Do not over bake.

5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan completely. Once cool, slice into 9 pieces.
