You need following ingredients to make
Coconut sugar : goes well with cocoa powder and dark chocolate.
Unsweetened cocoa powder: You can use any favorite brand.
Almond flour : You can use both blanched and unblanched almond flour
Chocolate : I used bitter chocolate about 90% chocolate.
Baking powder added to give the lift to the dough.

Vanilla extract : Always use pure vanilla extract.
Pecans: I used chopped pecans you can use almond if you want.

Hint: leave a useful hint here, like let the grill run for 4-5 minutes to burn off any remnants, then clean it. I like to use this bristle-free barbecue brush (affiliate link) for cleaning the grill.
