Paleo brownies

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.

Blueberry Espresso Brownies

Prep 10 mins

Total 40 mins

Author George Bryant (Civilized Caveman)

Yield 12

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Coconut Cream Concentrate MELTED (and a bit leftover for drizzling)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Raw Organic Honey
  • 1/4 Cup Organic Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Hug in a Mug Coffee
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 Degrees F
  2. Place coconut cream concentrate (coconut butter), eggs, honey, cocoa powder, cinnamon, coffee, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt together in a mixing bowl
  3. Use your hand mixer or stand mixer to mix all your ingredients until well blended
  4. Once ready, fold in your blueberries by hand so you don't crush them all

    I’m not sure why, but I’ve tried making these a few times and they never really solidify. Any suggestions? I end up putting them in the freezer and eat them frozen after I cook them.
    They’re only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

    I’m no fancy baker by any means (usually the first time I make things they turn out terribly) and nailed these PERFECT the first time. Super easy, and even though I was in doubt about the blueberries in the recipe (I’m not a huge blueberry fan to begin with), they’re so good in it! Would definitely make these again!

    This was AMAZING! I made my own coconut butter out of desiccated coconut because that was all we had on hand and some virgin coconut oil all nicely blended up. Then to the batter I added maybe a tablespoon or two of almond meal I had left over from another recipe. I also left out the cinnamon but upped the cocoa to make up for it. Oh and I also didn’t end up melting the coconut butter.

    So many changes but it turned out DELISH! Such a good recipe. Whole family loved it and the little ones didn’t even notice the difference from the usual brownie recipe. :) Success!

    I’m confused on what coconut cream concentrate is. Is it similar to coconut butter/manna? Where you blend up dry coconut flakes in a food processor until it turns into a sort of butter that’s solid at refrigerator temp.?

      1/2 cup of honey is about 1 cup of granulated sugar. Not to mention granulated sugar is processed to high holy wherever and has 0 health benefits nutrient wise. Honey is also a little more diabetic friendly when used in moderation. :)

      Brownie points (pun intended) if you use a local to you raw honey, not only do you get the nutritional benefits of raw honey, you get the benefit of a little local pollen immune boost.

      I love this recipe and have made it often, even wrote it down at one point. Had to come back to get it again, my daughter in law ran off with my paper!

    I just came across your recipe and decided it looked so good I just had to try it. Well, you did not promise too much when you wrote it would make my day, week… year! It sure did make my day – it is wonderful. I did not have coconut cream concentrate (don’t know if I can get it here in the middle of Sweden), so I used nearly 3/4 cup of coconut butter (oil) and 1/4 cup whipping cream instead. I forgot to melt the coconut butter but it mixed very well nevertheless. I also used frozen blueberries that sort of disappeared but made it totally moist and yummy. It is the most delicious dessert and I am afraid it won’t last the night… I served it with a knob of whipped cream… Mmmmm… Can’t wait to share this with my fb friends!

    In your recipe book the coconut cream is listed last in the ingredients. In the method it does not say put coconut cream in the batter, just drizzle over cooled brownies. I wondered how you can say your recipe makes 18 muffins when I only managed to squeeze out 6! I have just made these brownies for the second time, still without the coconut concentrate (I wasn’t sure what it was!) My batter was very runny. Will the coconut cream concentrate make it a bit thicker? I am going to hunt some down and make them again.

        I saw this recipe elsewhere and possibly because of the way it was written, that poster experienced the same confusion as Siobhan, and therefore LEFT OUT the 1 cup of coconut creme. The only mention of it was at the end.

        My suggestion:
        1 cup coconut creme (and a bit extra for drizzling)

        add the part in parenthesis to avoid confusion.

    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…

    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?

    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?

    • Civilized Caveman says

      July 5, 2012 at 7:06 am

      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

    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.

    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 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.
