Pre-heat the oven to 360° F and line an 8×8-inch baking tin with parchment paper.

Melt the coconut oil, and add the oil plus the rest of the wet ingredients into the bowl and mix everything together.
Stir in the chocolate chips (reserve some to sprinkle on top)

Let cool at least 20 minutes.

Nutrional Information

Notes

These are definitely best when eaten the first day, but if you store them in a sealed container you can keep them for about 2 days. If you don’t put them in a sealed container they will be dry the next day so be sure you don’t skip that!
