If anyone still reads this, they may have noticed that I don't blog quite so often as I had hoped and planned. Alas, they don't pay me to do this so I have to work 8+ hours a day elsewhere. However, I am happy that it has been 8 months and I am still blogging away, whenever I get the chance.
These brownies came out so amazingly perfect that I couldn't not blog about them.
I found the original recipe on Pinterest, which brought me to this lovely blog: http://simonesmith.hubpages.com/hub/Simple-Homemade-Brownie-Recipe. Her recipe is coconut-free, so if you're into that sort of thing, by all means, use her recipe instead.
I, on the other hand, am definitely pro coconut. In almost anything really, but especially in desserts with chocolate.
Here is my adapted recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of organic coconut oil
- 1 cup of organic sugar
- 2 large organic eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Coconut flakes (optional topping)
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil brownie pan and dust with cocoa powder.
2) Mix together the coconut oil (melted)*, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Then add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.
3) Pour batter into a brownie pan (about 8x8). Top with coconut flakes, if desired. (I did half and half just in case the BF didn't like the idea). Bake for 25 minutes. VOILA! Brownies :)
*(Mine is always melted because we live in Florida.....)
I didn't pre-plan and take many photos, but here's one of the finished product! Hope you like them as much as we did!
