Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 cup pitted cherries, chopped
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
½ cup honey, preferably local
¼ cup almond milk, unsweetened
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp. baking soda

Directions:
1. Place top oven rack in center position and preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8” x 8” brownie pan with 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, honey, almond milk, and vanilla until completely smooth. Set aside.

Here’s a tip for this recipe… you can use either fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, let them thaw completely at room temperature before chopping and adding to the batter. You can also collect the juice while thawing and add it to the batter, as well.
However, you will need to increase the cooking time by several minutes to account for the extra moisture. But it will be worth it.
