Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Combine the first 6 ingredients (eggs, coconut milk, coconut butter, coffee, maple syrup, and vanilla) in a bowl. Mix them together. I always use my favorite kitchen tool, my stick blender, to do the mixing.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir.
Add the liquid, a little at a time, to the dry ingredients, mashing and stirring the mixture until smooth. Then, add half the chocolate chips to the mixture and stir them in.
Pour/push the mixture into the greased baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Top with coconut flakes, then chocolate chips.
Bake for 35 minutes, then allow it to cool.
