1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup Silk Original coconut milk

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
2. Grease 9x9 pan
3. Mix all of the dry ingredients together
4. Mix all of the wet ingredients into the mixed dry ingredients
5. Pour the mixture into the pan
6. Sprinkle Dark Chocolate Morsels (baking chocolate chips) on top of the brownies - I used Nestle All Natural Dark Chocolate Morsels
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes
