Fudgy and Moist Coconut Chocolate Brownies are rich, chocolaty bites of goodness. Full of coconut and chocolate flavor, soft and scrumptious.
Since I have been so busy planning and preparing for my upcoming conference, I haven’t had much time for my blog or to be in the kitchen.
We’ve had a lot of quick meals lately, as I tested plugins and web templates for my SEO session with Dan.
I’ve missed being in the kitchen but most of all I’ve missed sharing my life with you all through my blog.
I will be back next week full force and will keep you update over the weekend so you can see what we’ve learned, and what we’re doing.
I decided to make a batch of brownies for my family to enjoy while I was gone.
I took our basic brownie recipe and changed it up a bit by substituting coconut extract and adding some coconut flakes.
I made three batches (so they’d last… I have 5 teenagers, they’d eat them all in one sitting if I don’t make extras) so I tested one and I loved it.
A little jealous I won’t get to enjoy the coconut chocolate brownies with them, but I know they will be enjoying them and thinking about me (living it up in Orlando).
