Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cookie Dough
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8-inch oven-safe skillet with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Beat Brownie Batter Eggs and Sugar: In a stand mixer, beat 1 egg and ½ cup coconut sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, aerating the batter.
- Melt Chocolate and Combine: Melt ½ cup dark chocolate chips in the microwave until creamy. Stir in ¼ cup olive oil, then pour this chocolate mixture into the stand mixer with the egg mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Brownie Batter: Mix in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons tapioca flour, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir until incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips for Brownie Batter: Gently fold in another ½ cup of dark chocolate chips, then set the brownie batter aside.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup coconut sugar and ¼ cup olive oil; stir until well mixed.
- Add Egg and Vanilla to Cookie Dough: Add 1 egg and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients for Cookie Dough: Add ⅔ cup almond flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon sea salt. Stir to combine thoroughly, then fold in ½ cup dark chocolate chips.
- Assemble in Skillet: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared skillet. Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with moist crumbs.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use an 8-inch oven-safe skillet for even baking and easy serving.
- Be careful not to overbake; the toothpick should come out with moist crumbs for a fudgy texture.
- Substitute almond flour with gluten-free flour if needed for dietary preferences.
- Chilling the cookie dough slightly before scooping can help maintain distinct cookie dough balls in the skillet.
- Flaky sea salt topping adds a wonderful contrast to the sweet chocolate flavors.
