Homemade Brownies with a Hint of Coconut

Since Kevin shared his favorite brownie recipe with you last week, I (Cassie) thought I would also share my current favorite recipe.  For awhile, I was making boxed brownies as I found that it was often more expensive to make them from scratch and I never loved how they turned out.  This all changed a couple of months ago, when I came across this recipe.  Since then, I have been making a few adjustments and perfecting my recipe.  Now we absolutely love these delicious and flavorful brownies.  Enjoy!

Directions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In your first bowl, mix the following:

  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2/3 cup of cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

3. In your second bowl, mix the following:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of coconut oil (I purchase my coconut oil in Laguna de Perlas, Nicaragua)
  • 3 teaspoons of vanilla

4. Combine the two bowls.  Mix with a fork until blended.  Do not overmix.

5. Grease your 9x13 pan with coconut oil and pour in your batter.

6. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

7. Enjoy!  Share them with your family and neighbors.  Try not to eat the pan at one seating.
