Root Beer Coconut Chocolate Brownies

Root Beer Coconut Chocolate Brownies

I love brownies and am always thinking of new ways to expand the brownie universe.  If you’re a fan of German Chocolate Cake or Mounds Bars then you will love these brownies! I’ve only been able to find Root Beer Extract on Amazon.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 Cup Butter

1 Cup Sugar

2 Large Eggs

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3 Tablespoons Root Beer Extract

1/2 Cup Unbleached Flour

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1 Cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 2.2 quart baking dish with parchment paper. In a 3 quart saucepan, melt butter over a medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, with wooden spoon, stir in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla and root beer extract, until well blended. In medium-size bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, kosher salt and coconut. Stir flour mixture into saucepan until blended. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from center comes out almost clean. Remove from oven and cool in pan on wire rack. When cool, cut brownies into squares. Makes about 16 brownies.
