  • 3/4 cup erythritol sweetener or granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • Add the melted butter (or coconut oil), eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, uniform batter forms.
  • Fold 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into the batter, reserving the rest for topping.
  • Press the dense batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly puffy. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.
