Berry Coconut Slice

So I went to make a brownie the other day, only to realise half-way through that I had no cacao powder or chocolate left!! Oops. So I quickly pivoted and turned the brownie into this moist and yummy Berry Coconut Slice 

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 cup almond meal
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• ⅓ cup chocolate chips (dairy free)
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries, roughly chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Line a baking pan with baking paper.
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then add in the cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar and vanilla and mix together.
4. Add the almond meal, salt and baking soda to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. 
5. Add the coconut, chocolate chips and frozen mixed berries and stir through.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin.
7. Cook for 30-35 min (less if you like it more fudgy, more if you like it more cakey)
8. Wait until cooled before cutting and serving with some coconut yogurt or coconut cream.
