Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees F.
Very lightly grease a 9x9 pan.
You can also do a light dusting of cacao powder on top of this to give the brownies a little extra chocolatey goodness
Begin by combining the sugars in the bowl with a whisk.
Add 1/2 cup coconut oil to a microwave-safe container. Heat the oil until it is completely melted. I recommend 30 seconds to start, then give it a good stir and see if that melts the unmelted bits.
Whisk the melted coconut oil into the sugars.
Add both eggs and whisk until well combined.
Next, add the vanilla and salt.
Last, sprinkle in the plain flour,cocoa powder, and baking powder. Use a rubber spatula to mix in these last ingredients. If any of these ingredients is a little lumpy, you can sift them into the batter to keep things smooth and light.
Scoop the chocolate mixture out and plop it into the baking dish. Using the spatula, spread the mixture out evenly across the dish.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Check to see if the brownies are done by sticking a toothpick in the middle of the brownies. If it comes out clean they are done. If batter still sticks to the toothpick, bake again for another 2-3 minutes.
Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature if you can, or eat hot if can't wait.
Make sure they are cooled completely before storing in an airtight container. They freeze great!
