These coconut brownies are gluten free, sugar free, and nut free, but still just as delicious. It uses coconut oil and coconut flour as its fat and flour, and sugar free syrup (or maple syrup/honey) as its sweetener. The fat is cut back a bit by the use of plain nonfat greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce, which also adds a touch of sweetness. Feel free to top with or mix in some chocolate chips too!

- 1/4 cup (56 g) Extra virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 cup (56 g) Plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (60 g) Unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup (80 g) Sugar free syrup
- 2 large (101 g) Egg
- 2 tsp (10 g) Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt
- 1/2 cup (40 g) Cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp (15 g) Coconut flour
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Sugar free chocolate chips

1. Preheat your oven to 350F, and line an 9" square baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray the pan with oil

2. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients in the order above. It helps to fully combine together the liquid ingredients (oil, yogurt, applesauce, syrup, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt) before whisking in the solids (cocoa powder and coconut flour). Fold in your chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top

3. Use a silicone spatula to transfer the batter into your pan, and smooth the top

4. Bake at 350F for about 30 mintues, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. Transfer to the fridge to cool completely before slicing with a plastic knife
