Pictures And Brownies What A Perfect Day!

Hello all you glitzy ritzy dames! As you probley have noticed i have been lacking something very important in my posts... PICTURES!!!! haha I apologize for my lack of pictures.. long story short my cute but curious puppy thought my camera cord was a chew toy and she chewed through the wire ( i think she is half hamster).. luckily I am going today to get a new one! I'm so excited! i can't wait to post some ritzy fashion pictures that i have been dyeing to share with you, and i can finally have pictures to go along with my tutorials and i will also be able to have video as well! :)

So my last post without pictures is going to be my favorite brownie recipe of all times, everywhere i have taken these brownies i have had people coming up to me left and right telling me how delicious these brownies are, and whenever i have the good cocoa powder in the house my boyfriend begs me to make a batch. the are chewy and fudgy and so delicious. :) this recipe is a slightly revised version of the cocoa brownies with browned butter and walnuts at www.bonappetit.com, but little brother is extremely allergic to walnuts and most nuts in general accept for a few like almonds and cashews, so I altered the original recipe to make it safe for his allergies :)

Coconut browned butter brownies:

10 TBSP. unsalted butter but into cubes

1 1/4 cup. sugar

3/4 cup. all natural unsweetened cocoa powder ( non- alkali )

1 TSP. vanilla extract

2 large eggs. (chilled)

1/3 cup plus 1 TBSP. unbleached all purpose flour

1 cup. toasted coconut flakes ( I use bakers brand angel flakes)


Directions:

place rack in bottom third of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a 8x8x2 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper (NOT WAX) leaving a 2 inch overhang. with a paper towel lightly grease the parchment paper with vegetable oil. Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often, cook until butter stops foaming and little brown bits start for form at the bottom of the pan ( about 5 minutes). in your mixer bowl have your sugar, cocoa powder, and 1/4 TSP. salt mixed together, turn the mixer on low and slowly add browned butter, then add 2 TSP. water and your 1 TSP. vanilla, stir on medium speed and allow to cool for about 5 minutes (batter will be very hot). add eggs one at a time to the hot mixture and beat on high speed after each addition. Once batter looks thick and shiny add your flour and carefully combine. beat on high speed for 1 minute, stir in toasted coconut, pour into baking pan. Bake brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, with a few moist fudgy bits stuck ( about 25 minutes but check at 20 minute mark because thats when i take mine out) . cool in the pan on a cooling rack, use the over hand to lift out, cut into equal squares and enjoy the fudgy goodness!

Enjoy ladies! :) please post the results :)
