1/2 cup raw honey, melted if too thick

1/2 cup olive oil or coconut oil

1 heaping TBS baking powder

1/2 TBS baking soda

1 cup unsweeted baking cocoa powder 

2 TBS coconut flour

Preheat Oven to 365. Mix all ingredients together. Pour in square or small rectangle baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray.
