Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup finely chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate
  • 3/4 cup white sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch or tapioca starch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt chopped chocolate with coconut oil or butter until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk in the sugar until fully incorporated.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each.
  5. Whisk in cocoa powder and arrowroot powder until batter is smooth and no longer grainy.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until center is just set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  8. Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Add 1 tsp vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • Top with flaky sea salt before baking for a sweet-salty finish.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for texture and richness.
  • Do not overbake to maintain fudgy centers.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate and coconut oil for a fully dairy-free version.
