GLUTEN FREE BROWNIES

 Before these, the only brownies I ever made came from a box.  I really thought that brownies would be  too difficult and that only grandmas baked "real" brownies.  Well, they are super easy and SO GOOD!!!  Here are the ingredients that I use:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the coconut oil on low heat.  Mix together the maple syrup, cocoa powder and vanilla, then add them to the melted coconut oil.  I didn't have enough maple syrup this time, so I made up for it with honey...it came out pretty much the same.  Add the coconut flour and baking soda.  Lastly, add the bittersweet chocolate chunks.  I used a semi-sweet chocolate bar (from Bolivia) and grated it.  You can also cut it so that you can control the "chunk" size.

Mix it all together and pour it into a greased dish.  Bake it for 25-30 minutes.

You can top it with chocolate moose or strawberries or anything!
