These brownies are DELISH and super great as a cheeky dessert if you're having that chocolate craving! They're gooey, fudgey and even really easy for kids to make.
Makes: 9
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons of desiccated coconut
125g butter (unsalted)
1 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup cacao powder
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 Tsp baking powder
1 cup plain flour
1/4 cup chocolate spread (or peanut butter, any nut spread)
Directions:
2 Tablespoons of desiccated coconut
125g butter (unsalted)
1 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup cacao powder
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 Tsp baking powder
1 cup plain flour
1/4 cup chocolate spread (or peanut butter, any nut spread)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter on a medium heat. Once all butter has melted, stir in the sugar, cacao and the vanilla essence.
- Remove from heat and leave to cool for five minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add in eggs (all parts!) and ensure it has mixed through throughly.
- Sift the flour into the bowl along with the baking powder.
- Mix throughly, to ensure there are no big clumps of flour. Id recommend using a whisk here to really mix it through.
- Working quickly, line a small, deep baking dish with baking paper. Pour half the mixture into the dish and spread it from edge to edge.
- Using the choc spread, spread lightly over the brownie mixture (or do tiny dollops everywhere!).
- Pour the remaining brownie mixture over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle coconut over the top.
- Place into the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Poking a fork through the middle of the brownie will tell you if its ready! If it comes out clean its ready, if it comes out dirty, leave it for a few more minutes!
- Cut up into bite sized pieces and eat!
