Happy Passover or Easter if you celebrate either. I am overdue on posting this recipe but with Easter and this #stayathome , I've been a bit busy with other things (believe it or not). This recipe is quite easy and it's one of my "to go's" desserts when I have to quickly improvise something yummy for friends to come over or for my family to enjoy. Quarantine and #teatime has been keeping me busy and I am trying to post things so you can enjoy them at your home as well. What I like about these brownies, is how chewy they get with the extra chocolate chips (nothing wrong with that!!) so they are fudgy and chewy. Because we have extra time, we worked on home made ice cream but feel free to use store bought ice cream; we love Jenni's ice cream any time!
Provecho
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups of sugar
½ cup coconut oil (butter flavor)
½ tsp. salt
1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ cup good quality cocoa powder
3 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1 ½ cups of semi sweet chocolate chips (I like to make 1 cup of semi sweet and ½ cup of dark or cocoa nibbles)
Coarse salt (sel de mer) to sprinkle on top when done
Directions:
- Preheat the oven at 350F
- Place sugar and coconut oil (you can always use butter if you prefer not use a dairy free alternative) in a bowl for about 3 minutes or until the oil is melted and sugar incorporated into the oil (stir as necessary)
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
- Add vanilla and cocoa powder, mix well then incorporate the eggs (previously beaten and at room temperature) and stir until blended.
- Add the flour mixture little by little until blended and no flour lumps are found in the mix. Add the chocolate chips and incorporate
- Pour over a prepared pan (greased and floured) and bake for about 35 minutes. Make sure you do not bake them too long or they will dry out. Toothpick may seem moist if inserted when you add plenty of chocolate chips (my problem quite often). Brownies need to be firm to gentle touch but not dry/hard
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes
- Enjoy them while warm if possible!
