1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp finely ground coffee
3/4 cup maple sugar
3 Tbsp coconut flour
2 Tbsp tapioca starch
3 large eggs
1/2 cup hot chocolate mix

1/4 cup crushed candy cane pieces

Directions
1. Over a double boiler, melt chocolate and coconut oil together. Take off heat and stir in vanilla, coffee, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flours and add to chocolate mixture. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Fold in chopped chocolate, candy canes and extract and pour into a brownie pan.
3. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
