        Filling

        • 4 tablespoons Salted Butter (room temp)⁠
        • ½ cup packed Coconut Sugar⁠
        • ½ cup Pure Maple Syrup⁠
        • ¹⁄3 cup Cocoa Powder⁠

      • Directions:
        1. In a large bowl, cream butter and coconut sugar. Add in maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat until the batter is light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and beat until incorporated.⁠
        2. Add in spelt flour, baking soda and kosher salt. The mixture will be slightly sticky. If it’s too much, you can add 1-4 tablespoons of flour.⁠
        3. Pour mixture into a parchment-lined 9×13 baking dish. Bake in a 350° F oven for 10-12 minutes or until the top becomes lightly golden. Set aside.⁠
        4. Filling: In another bowl, cream butter and coconut sugar. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract and cocoa powder. Beat until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs and beat until combined. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips. ⁠
        5. Pour filling over the crust that’s still sitting in the baking dish. Bake for 2-25 minutes. The final mixture will be slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before enjoying!⁠
