- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup cassava flour (I used Otto’s Naturals)

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 pasture raised eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Coconut Caramel Drizzle
- 1 14.5 oz can of full fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
Instructions
- In a small sauce pot, heat the coconut milk, honey and coconut sugar over medium heat. When it comes to a soft boil, turn the heat to low so that it remains simmering. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula for about 8-10 minutes or until it is a dark caramel color and is thick. Remove from the heat and transfer into a glass jar. Put in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour – longer is better.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 8×12 pan with a light amount of cooking spray.
- Place the pretzels in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with the coconut and set aside.
- Using a small sauce pan or pot over low heat, melt the dark chocolate, maple syrup, cocoa powder + coconut oil. Stir occasionally and remove from heat when it’s all melted and combine.
- While the chocolate mixture cools slightly, combine the flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl. In another large bowl, mix together the eggs and vanilla with a fork.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add the flour mixture – continue to fold until everything is combine.
- Pour into the prepared pan with the pretzels and coconut. Spread over the top using a spatula so that the batter reaches all the sides and is even.
- Bake for 18 minutes or when it is fluffy and cooked in the center. Remove and let cool on a dry rack. When the brownies are completely cooled…slice into and drizzle the coconut caramel sauce on top using a tablespoon.
