Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Loaded Chocolate Brownies

LOADED CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

By Lisa Starr

These Loaded Chocolate Brownies make the perfect vehicle for leftover cookies or chocolate bars.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup plain flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cocoa

 170 grams butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
¾ cup chocolate chips
Chopped cookies *

* I made this super successfully with leftover chopped Tim Tams. Oreos work brilliantly too or any other chocolate covered cookie.

Directions: 

1: Preheat oven to 180 C and line a 20 cm square baking pan with baking paper and spray with non-stick spray.
2: Combine flour, salt and cocoa in a bowl and stir together.
3: Combine butter, oil and ½ cup of sugar in a bowl or saucepan and heat in the microwave or on the stovetop till butter is completely melted.
4: Whisk eggs, yolk and remaining sugar together for 30 seconds then stir in vanilla.

5: Slowly pour the warm butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking by hand all the time, then stir in the flour mixture till just combined.
6: Fold in chocolate chips and half the chopped cookies and scrape into prepared tin, smooth top and press in remaining cookies. 
7: Bake for approximately 30 minutes - or until the top is just crusted over and edges are starting to crack - then remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 hours before slicing. 

COOK'S NOTES: Don't over-bake. Utterly delicious any way they are served but can be slightly heated and serve warm with ice cream to be extra fudgy. 

ENJOY !

April Open thread 2025

  

                As March leaves like a tamed lion with our robust showers and storms,  April greets us with a new day, a new month.  May it be a great new month. After the final frost, time to get around to turning the dirt and prepping our gardens for a robust yield of fruits and vegetables. 

Now maybe time to plant and start on spring cleaning.  

 

Any hour of the morning is coffee or tea time, join us!  Tell us where you are on your project. Are you happy where it's going?

Maybe the beach will inspire you

Some stories and movies you wish would just keep going, 

I always wonder what happened and the story was just left open ended.

After coffee the gears start churning to get to first tasks of the day.

And this month is spring break for many.  Whether it's the beach, pizza or the mountains or just a staycation works just find t6o recharge.

Go out for seafood at that little restaurant on the beach everyone is talking about.

Remember the nutritional content and the zinc and selenium with omegas in seafood will help recharge the mind and body to write that big important story as it should be written.  Don't forget to read a good book!

Of course  many are homebound but put this on and through the night, very relaxing to take you away for awhile.

In the meantime keep on journaling!
