THE BEST HEALTHIER BROWNIES (VIDEO)

My dad knows just how much I love chocolate (I’m not too different from my chocolate-obsessed mother & sisters) and in his attempts to stay “hip” he sends my sisters, mom, and me what he thinks is a chocolate-chip emoji frequently. (💩) The text will be something like “Have a great day cooking!💩” Or “Want me to bring home a treat for you:💩”

My sister finally decided to confront my dad and ask why he was always sending everyone a “pile of poop” emoji. He was completely surprised and then confused by her question… After showing him the emoji, he said, “You mean the cute little chocolate chips?”

And since then, we’ve all tried to convince him that it is not a chocolate chip. However, he is certain (and maintains) that Apple would never create a poop emoji and that it is indeed a chocolate chip. So he goes right along and continues using it in his various messages.

Ingredients
Brownies:

• 1 and 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips separated, I use 53% cacao
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil LouAna brand recommended
• 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt*
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar brown sugar can be substituted
• 3/4 cup oat flour just blend regular oats in your blender
• Optional Frosting:
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk or whatever milk you have on hand
• 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
• 3/4- 1 & 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 pan with foil or parchment paper and then spray with nonstick spray (I use a coconut oil based spray that I love.)
2. In a bowl place 1 cup of chocolate chips or chopped and measured dark chocolate.
3. Microwave the coconut oil and measure the coconut oil in its melted, hot state.
4. Pour the hot melted coconut oil over the dark chocolate and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted.
5. For best results I suggest using LouAna coconut oil as I've found other coconut oils vary in their baked taste and sometimes result in a bitter-tasting baked good.
