4.2 oz (120 g) sugar-free chocolate (approximately 3/4 cup chopped)
2.8 oz (80 g) butter (approximately 1/3 cup)
1/3 cup (35 g) coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
Melt the sugar-free chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, stevia powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
In another bowl, mix coconut flour and baking powder.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the batter is well combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the brownies to cool before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips:
Ensure the butter and chocolate mixture is fully melted and smooth to avoid clumps in the batter.

Sift the coconut flour before adding to avoid lumps.
Use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing and a smoother batter.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing to prevent them from crumbling.
