In a separate bowl, crack 3 medium eggs and add 3/4 cup coconut sugar. Beat the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes until light and fluffy, tripling in volume.

Once the chocolate and coconut oil mixture is melted, remove it from heat and drizzle it into the egg and sugar mixture while beating at low speed.

In a food processor, add 1 cup almond flour and a dash of salt. Process to make it finer (optional).

Gradually add the processed almond flour to the wet mixture and fold it in gently.

Incorporate 1/4 cup cocoa powder into the batter, folding it in gently.

Add most of the dark chocolate chunks and chips to the batter, reserving some for the top. Also, add about 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (optional) and fold in gently.

Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and walnuts on top of the batter.

Transfer the batter to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, checking for doneness at 18 minutes.
