What you'll need

  • Stand mixer — Hands-free creaming and whipping — the most time-saving machine in a baker's kitchen.
  • Kitchen scale — Baking by weight is more accurate than cups — 1 g = 1 g, always.
  • Silicone baking mat — No parchment waste, uniform browning, nothing sticks.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or cake pan with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the organic egg and vanilla bean paste, beating well until smooth.
  4. Fold in the almond flour and sea salt using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  5. Gently stir in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Press the dough into the prepared skillet in an even layer.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and set but the center is still soft.
  8. Top with scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and serve warm, straight from the skillet.

FAQ

Why use coconut sugar instead of regular sugar?

Coconut sugar is less refined, has a lower glycemic index, and retains more nutrients than regular sugar.

Can I substitute almond flour with another nut flour?

Yes, but almond flour provides the best texture; cashew or walnut flour may alter the outcome.

Is dark chocolate really better than milk chocolate?

Yes, dark chocolate with 70%+ cacao has more antioxidants, less sugar, and no artificial additives.
