Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach packed
  • 6 oz dark baking chocolate.
  • 1 cup extra virgin coconut oil
  • 5 pastured eggs
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup nut flour I used half cashew and half almond
  • 1/4 cup golden flax meal
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp himalayan pink salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line a 9”x13” baking pan with wax paper or spray coconut oil.
  2. Melt coconut oil and chocolate together over low heat on the stove top. I use boiling water with a metal bowl on top as a double boiler so you don't burn the chocolate.
  3. Add honey. The trick to getting a smooth crusty top to the brownies is melting the chocolate and f fat with the sugar and cooking until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Add vanilla, stir to incorporate. Remove from burner and let cool.
  5. Chop spinach in a food processor, then add eggs.
  6. In a large bowl mix cacoa powder, coconut flour, almond flour, cashew flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  7. Add egg mixture slowly to melted chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.
  8. Mix in dry ingredients and stir to fully incorporate. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 35 minutes.
