Waste not, want not! Leftover coconut in a storage jar! |
I very rarely bake, due to not being overly good at it but today I had the baking urge and decided to make some brownies. It’s a recipe that Dave and I whipped together once, and was really good, so I thought I’d go for it! I’m very pleased to say that I have been successful in my brownie making and have some to share the recipe with you all!
The recipe only calls for a few ingredients; cocoa, butter, golden caster sugar, eggs, self raising flour, and desiccated coconut (plus some icing sugar for dusting, if you fancy it) so it’s really easy to throw together! I had most of the ingredients in the house anyway, and just had to get some golden caster sugar and coconut. Here are my fabulous results!
Cue “artsy food pic” |
I’m seriously proud of myself! The only bit I would change, would be a little less cooking so that the edges don’t go so hard…but I have never been a fan of the “edge of the brownie”…it’s all personal preference! I am also pleased with the crispy top to them too. The texture is absolutely perfect – they are all really gooey and the coconut flavour is fab. Hooray! Extremely happy, and glad that I took the time to give it a go.
While those were cooling off, I threw together some chilli con carne, which will be dinner for tomorrow night and will just need reheating. And later on I am going to be making a creamy masala, so all in all it will have been a successful cooking day.
If anyone wants to give the Fudgy Coconut Brownies recipe a go, you can find it on Good Food’s website here. Enjoy!
