* Coconut oil OR butter– The best kind of oil for using in desserts, you can use refined coconut oil or unrefined coconut oil. Use the refined kind to ensure there is NO coconut flavor. You can also use butter if you don’t follow a dairy-free diet.
* Baking chocolate OR chocolate chips– Either baking chocolate or chocolate chips work. I prefer using baker’s chocolate, as it melts better than chocolate chips. Be sure to use a good quality chocolate bar.
* Sugar– White sugar is preferred, but brown sugar or coconut sugar can also be used.
* Eggs– Room temperature eggs are a must!
* Cocoa Powder– Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder (cocoa powder without added sugar). I recommend using a high-quality cocoa powder, to really enhance the chocolate fudge flavor.
* Arrowroot powder– To give stability to the brownie, as it has no baking powder or baking soda. You can substitute this for cornstarch or tapioca flour.
The Instructions
Start by adding the coconut oil and chocolate into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Once the chocolate begins to melt, remove it from the heat and whisk it together with the coconut oil until combined. Next, add the sugar and whisk until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue mixing. Add the cocoa powder and arrowroot powder and whisk very well, until the batter is no longer grainy.
