Quarantine baking has finally begun in full effect! I did previously attempt to make lemon poppyseed pop tarts...but I now know the difference between wax and parchment paper, ha. Here is a simple recipe for some delicious and (lower cal) brownies below.

• 1/2 cup HOT melted, unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive/coconut oil
• 1 1/4 cup very fine bakers sugar (regular works as well)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup almond flour(meal), or all-purpose flour

Toppings: chocolate chips, crushed/sliced almonds

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit)
2. Grease 8 sq inch baking pan, line with parchment paper
3. Mix hot melted butter, oil, and sugar into a bowl, whisk for 1 minute
4. Add in the eggs and vanilla, whisk for 1 minute (until light and not yellow)
5. Gently add in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. The key here is getting it all mixed together evenly, and then stop so it doesn't get overworked!
6. Pour batter into the pan, smooth it evenly, add your toppings! Bake for around 20-24 minutes. You want them to almost seem slightly undercooked, if you stick a toothpick in it should come out dirty.
7. Let cool for 15 minutes, slice, and enjoy!!
