Equipment

Large Mixing Bowl
Medium Mixing Bowl
Hand or Stand Mixer
9x9 Baking Dish
Parchment Paper
Spatula
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cups

Ingredients

3 Eggs Room Temperature
¾ cup Coconut Sugar
⅓ cup Almond Flour Super Fine
3 tablespoon Gluten Free Flour
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
2 tablespoon Cacao Powder
⅛ teaspoon Sea Salt
2 tablespoon Coffee cooled
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 ¼ cup Chocloate Chips Hu
¼ cup Coconut Oil melted
45 g Sourdough Discard
pinch Flakey Sea Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Leave some overhang on the sides so you can easily remove the sheet with the brownies on it when done.
In a medium size bowl, add the eggs and coconut sugar, and use an electric mixer to beat until light and slightly fluffy (4-5minutes).
Sift in the almond flour, gluten free flour, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt, stir to combine.
In a double boiler, and the coconut oil and 1 cup of chocolate chips, stirring until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the double boiler and pour into the brownie batter along with the cooled coffee and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Add the sourdough discard to the batter and lightly stir to combine.
Fold in remaining ¼ chocolate chips and pour batter into lined baking dish. Sprinkle flakey sea salt on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until you are able to insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out with a few crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled remove from the pan using the sides of the parchment paper and cut into squares.

Notes

Expert Tips And Tricks

Don't Overbake: For the fudgiest brownies do not overbake! Make sure you remove them from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out clean! If you like them with a gooey center, I recommend cooking them just a few minutes under the recommended time.
Only Mix Until Combined: If you overmix your batter, you may end up with super dense brownies. You want to mix the wet and dry ingredients until they are just combined.
