INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Heat up a small saucepan over medium heat with chocolate chips and coconut oil until all the chocolate is melted and the texture smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl beat eggs for 3 minutes at high speed. (This is an important step as it will result in a crumbly top).
Follow with vanilla, cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and almond flour. Stir well until all ingredients combined. Then add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture and stir well to combine.
Transfer the brownie batter into an 8 x 8-inch or 8 x 9-inch pan covered with parchment paper. Bake the brownies for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
When cooled completely, Top the brownies with chocolate glaze and fresh pomegranate seeds.
Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk or scoop of vanilla ice cream!
NOTES
*Can use vanilla extract but paste has more in-depth flavor, hence why I love to use it more often ** Use dark brown sugar with small crystals, we don’t want these brownies to feel crunchy. Also, another great alternative is to use coconut sugar. The taste of these sugars will be different but equally as good, you just need to find the one that you love the most.
When removing the brownie from the oven it will be moist and you’ll need to let it cool COMPLETELY until cutting.
The secret to making these brownies fudgy is not only using good quality sugar but also high quality and LARGE chocolate chips. If you don’t have large ones, it may be better to use large chunks of cooking chocolate instead.
