Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show your loved ones just how much they mean to you. What better way to do this than with a delicious homemade treat? These heart-shaped brownies are not only delightful to the senses but are also Paleo and Whole30 compliant, making them a guilt-free indulgence. Made with wholesome ingredients and a touch of love!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
• 1.25 cups of Maple Syrup
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder spooned and leveled
• 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons of Coconut Flour
• ½ cup of dark chocolate chips (dairy-free for Paleo)

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare your silicone heart tray by lightly greasing it with coconut oil to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
   
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted mix together the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
   
3. Whisk the eggs into the mixture.
   
4. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, and coconut flour to the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
   
5. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
   
6. Carefully spoon the brownie batter into the prepared silicone heart tray, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for the brownies to rise.
   
7. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie comes out clean.
   
8. Allow the brownies to cool in the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve them as a sweet treat for your Valentine’s Day celebration!

Tips for the Perfect Brownie

• Use Quality Cocoa Powder: The quality of cocoa powder can greatly affect the flavor and texture of your brownies. Opt for a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best results.
• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your brownies as they bake. Over baking can result in a dry texture, so it’s best to check them a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
• Customize Your Treat: Feel free to add in extra ingredients like nuts, coconut flakes, or dried fruit for a personal touch.

Enjoy every chocolaty bite!
