Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan - Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Combine the Sugars and Coconut Oil - In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Add the Eggs - Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is light and fluffy.
  6. Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. Step 7: Fold in Chocolate Chunks - Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Step 8: Bake - Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Step 9: Cool and Slice - Let it cool for about 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a delightful contrast.
  • For softer bars, reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
