Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) Dr Pepper, room temperature
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • ½ cup (85g) dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and coconut sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until the mixture looks glossy.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and the Dr Pepper.
  5. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and salt directly into the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set and the top has a thin, crackly crust. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
