• 100g Nutella

• 5 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 cup coconut flour

• Handful of raisins

1. OK before you start, pre-heat your oven.

2. In a bowl, crack in the eggs and then add all of the ingredients with the cup of coconut flour being sieved into the mixture.

3. The coconut oil should be soft or a liquid so if it's not just put it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.

4. Mix everything together until it's in a thick, but smooth, consistency.

5. Get a little bit of coconut oil and grease a rectangular 23x33cm baking tin with it.

6. Add the brownie mixture to the baking tin, ensuring an even spread.

7. Pop the baking tin in the oven and bake at 180 C / Gas mark 4 for 20 - 25 minutes.

8. Keep an eye on them around the 15 to 20 minute mark and allow extra time if required to brown.

9. When ready, remove from oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares/rectangles.
