- 1 tsp gluten free baking powder
- 20g cornflour
- 6 tbsp coconut sugar
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp Cacao nibs
- 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp flaxseed, mixed with 2 tbsp water

Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5 and line an 8"x8" baking tray (or equivalent).
Mix the coconut flakes, desiccated coconut, sugar, flour, baking powder, cornflour, cocoa powder and cacao nibs together in a bowl.
Add the coconut oil and flaxseed mix and stir well to combine. Beat in the coconut milk to form a smooth mix and pour in to the baking tray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. You don't want to overcook this and it's actually better slightly "under".
When the slice is cold, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and spread over the top. Slice into pieces and serve.
