Ingredients

¼ cup coconut oil, (solid
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
⅓ cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup natural creamy almond butter, (almonds + salt as only ingredients)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
½ cup cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
2 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca flour, (helps bind the batter)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Instructions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8” or 9” cast iron skillet.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil and dark chocolate in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch (or tapioca flour), baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, whisk in the coconut sugar and almond butter until smooth. Then mix in the applesauce and vanilla extract.
Make the Batter: Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or spoon to gently mix. The batter will be thick and fudgy—don’t overmix!
Bake: Transfer the batter to your greased skillet, then sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you’d like. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a crackly crust forms, but the center stays gooey.
Cool & Enjoy: Let the brownie skillet cool slightly before digging in. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of nut butter!

Notes

Bake in an 8x8" pan: You can use a regular 8x8 inch baking tray if you do not have a skillet.

Coconut sugar: You can substitute 1:1 with light brown sugar.
