Add the coconut milk and sugar to a small pot over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Simmer on low for about 2 hours until the milk reduces to a thick, caramel consistency and golden color.
Be sure to stir every 5-10 minutes to keep the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Melt coconut oil in heat proof bowl over a small pot of boiling water.
Turn the heat to low and add in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Stir until the chocolate is melted, then stir in cocoa powder and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking soda and set aside.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the flax eggs, milk, and sugar on high speed until sugar dissolves.
Mix in the vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients as well as the melted chocolate and stir until combined.
Fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chip.
Spread half of the batter into a greased and parchment lined 8×8 square pan.
Spread 1/4-1/2 cup of the dulce de leche over the batter.
Add the reserved batter over the dulce de leche and use a knife or spatula to spread until the dulce de leche is covered with the batter..
Bake for 28-30 minutes.
Top with a sprinkle of additional chocolate chips, if desired.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
Then, remove from the pan and let them cool on a cooling rack for another 10- 20 minutes.
