Yea so once again I want to thank each and every one of you awesome fans for always sticking by my side whether I am posting recipes daily, weekly, or monthly or not. My life has been a whirlwind of events that are totally consuming all my time but I am trying my best to get on here and keep giving you new content. Don’t worry though, when I hit a lull in my hectic schedule I will post some awesome recipes for you all. I happened to be at home today with a friend and decided it was time to experiment. Well this experiment will honestly make your day, week, month, and maybe even year. The flavor combination in this with the subtle after taste of coffee just leaves you wanting more. I apologize in advance for causing you to over eat once you make these. Enjoy.
Servings: 18 Brownies
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: ~30 Minutes
Ingredients :
- 1 Cup Coconut Cream Concentrate MELTED
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Raw Organic Honey
- 1 Cup Blueberries
- 1 Cup Pecans, crushed
- 1/4 Cup Organic Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp Ground Coffee of your choice
- 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 Tsp Sea Salt
Process (Brownies):
- Preheat your oven to 325 Degrees F
- Place all of your ingredients for the brownies together in a mixing bowl except the blueberries
- Use your hand mixer or stand mixer to mix all your ingredients until well blended
- Once ready, fold in your blueberries by hand so you don’t crush them all
- Pour your batter into a greased 9×13 baking dish (grease with coconut oil) or into greased individual mini muffin pans like I did
- Place in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes. At about 25 minutes, do the toothpick test and judge how much longer you need
- Remove from oven, let cool
- Once cool, use some melted Coconut Cream Concentrate and drizzle all over your brownies
- Cut and Enjoy
Quick question for clarification:
Where those fresh or dried blueberries? I used fresh and they came out soggy! These were supposed to be for a family dinner, and my boyfriend said with a snarky grin on his face “They’re so good lets leave them home.” lol Don’t get me wrong, the flavor is fine, but I’m wondering in hindsight if those were supposed to be dried berries…
These were fresh blueberries, they could have just not baked long enough
I followed all the directions and these turned out nothing like yours!! Don’t know what went wrong. The consistency is really gummy and they’re more like really thin bars than brownies. And the coconut cream concentrate that I drizzled over the top just melted in, even though the brownies were cool. :( So sad, because these looked amazing.
Marissa, it is hard for me to know what happened. What brand of coconut cream concentrate did you use?
ThtThanks so much for the recipe George, I can’t wait to try them. I’m going to make then this week to take to a pot luck. Do you actually put in ground coffee? Or is it instant?
Barbara I put my own fresh ground espresso in but instant might work
George, I was so surprised at how wonderful these turned out! Amazing! I baked them in the mini muffin tins too. Thank you!
So glad you loved them, this is my fav recipe
Hey everyone, made the brownies to specification, just wanting to see how everyone has gone with them, mine came out fairly soft and moist, and very oily, could we add coconut flour to kind of soak up the coconut oil a little?
Hmmm I haven’t had them come out oily before. Coconut oil would absorb a lot of moisture so it could work but If you try it use very little
You know I just heard about MM Livestock from another Marine Wife. I will definitely start purchasing from them! This recipe looks fantastic and I think my kids will love it! Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome, just when you talk to MM Livestock let her know I sent you please :)
I’ve made these several times. By themselves they are great but i like to serve them in a parfait dish surrounded by fresh strawberries or raspberries and just a drizzle of melted high cacoa dark chocolate. Mmm Mmm Good!
That sounds amazing Phyllis
Does the coconut cream only go on top or also in the mix?
In the mix pixel. The garnishing is optional
I can’t get the creamed coconut concentrate in Canada (if I order it it costs 1.5 times the cost of the product just to ship it + duties). Is there any way to substitute a combo or oil & coconut cream? I really want to try making these, but don’t know how without the CCC.
thanks
Its the same as coconut butter if you can get that on the store. You can also buy coconut mana on canada amazon
I just ordered the cocoa and the coconut concentrate from Tropical Traditions…my favorite site for all kinds of great supplies for cooking and health…thanks so much for this recipe…I can’t wait to try it…they also have free shipping right now…great time to stock up
Woohoo can’t wait to see how you like them
I’m going to gaze at this recipe longingly until I finish the 21-Day Sugar Detox. Then I’ll make it when I have lots of folks who can help me eat it so I don’t undo all my good work!
Looks absolutely fantastic! Thank!
Good call Ginny, I am mad at myself for reposting haha cause of my detox and now I am drooling lol
Thanks for providing tasty, free, gf, paleo recipes-appreciate that people like yourself take the time to help us all eat well. Going to try add some coconut flour to the next mix and make a “Black Forest” cake with coconut yoghurt and fresh strawberries squished between 2 of these brownie mixes.Awesome as they are though!
This recipe is all class.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed
Looks so yummy!!! This will be a treat for after I’m done my whole30 and over Easter. Can’t wait to try it!
Woohoo cant wait to hear how you like them
Tried it today, and YUM! What a great combination of ingredients.
Oh thats awesome, so glad you enjoyed
Is the coconut cream concentrate just for the icing? Or is it also to be mixed in with the brownie batter?? Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question!! :)
It goes in the batter
In the brownie batter
**I made mine
I already posted on fb, but I just wanna emphasize, again, how BOMB DOT COM these are! At first I thought it was funny that you use the word amazing to describe all your recipes, but SERIOUSLY, George, I see why!! BEST BROWNIES I’VE EVER HAD. I’m sharing them at work & they’re disappearing like hotcakes! I did made mine in an 8×8 pan, but I hate using that pan bc it’s smaller than a 9×13…which, in my mind, means brownies that disappear faster. LOL I ate a fourth of the pan within 20 minutes! Gah. I’m gonna make another batch ASAP and use 100% raw cacao powder, since it’s a better choice than the Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa I have. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!!
P.S. I know you’re a man and can totally take it (lol), but I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings or ruin your day when I commented about your chili the other day- I thought about it and I felt really bad bc I think I should’ve just stuck to the positive aspects bc your recipes are fantastic and you deserve nothing less than consistent encouragement!! Keep rockin’ the Paleo deliciousness!
Chrissy I am so glad you enjoyed them and I saw the picture on your facebook, thanks for sharing. I did outdo myself with these ones too, I am avoiding making them again due to their addicting properties lol.
You would never hurt my feelings or ruin my day, everyones taste buds are different and I am by far not a chef. I started teaching myself to cook the day I started the blog in April last year so I expect many many failures. Just for some reason people seem to like most of the stuff I make. Honesty it always good and of course all my recipes could probably be imprved by someone. I am just doing my best to share what I can :)
You’re welcome. :) They ARE seriously addicting! I’m so relieved to hear that! Thank you for being so understanding about it. It’s amazing to me that you just started your blog in April, considering how many followers you have!! And, btw, you’re totally a chef in my eyes. ;)
I had these for breakfast (yeah thats right breakfast) and they were A-mazing !!! LOL. =)
Wondering if the Coconut Cream Concentrate should be solid or liquefied when using in the brownie base?
Liquified
It’s like we’re meant to be. i can’t wait til we’re neighbors someday. thanks for being so great and making such delish recipes :)
Haha thanks Juli. You should try these :)
In the oven. The batter alone was insanely delicious. Thanks for another wonderful recipe George!
Your welcome, hope you enjoy
nom nom nom!! These are so frakking delish!
Yippee I missed Cavemomma :)
Miss you MORE!! Thanks for keeping up with all your awesomeness.
Im always here whenever you want :)
This is a great recipe. I have a recipe that I use for espresso fudge brownies, but it is very different, so I will be anxious to try this one out and add the blueberries!
Awesome I really hope you enjoy them
Only two weeks to go and I’ll be done with Whole 30!! Aaahhhh!! I WANT THESE. SO BADLY. It’s all my favorite flavors…together…in brownie form. OMGGG.
Oh cant wait to hear how you like them :)
Does the 1c coconut cream concentrate go into the brownie batter or is that only for the icing?
In the brownie batter. That’s the base. Just reserve some for icing
Perfect, thanks! :) I’m gonna try those tonight!
Awesome let me know how you like them. I didn’t get to eat more than one cause they got stolen from me
They are awesome! So moist and chocolatey! It was the 1st time I used coconut cream, it’s delicious! Just the perfect ratio of sweetness! Thansk again ;)
Your most welcome
Those look like they could be sold at the grocery store! Nice Work! :)
I just pinned this to Pinterest. It’ll be all over the world in a matter of minutes! :D
where does one get coconut cream concentrate? whole foods?
Yes it is also called coconut butter. I get all mine on tropical traditions. It is linked in the recipe
I buy mine as coconut manna… It is the same thing I hope? Love the recipe, at the tail end of my whole 30, so I can’t wait!
you can also make it by blending shredded coconut. add a little coconut oil if you want it softer. it will come out of the blender melted and eventually harden like the stuff you get in a jar.
