Oats and Coconut Brownies. Doesn’t this just sound absolutely divine?
Let me tell you, these little brownie bites sure scored the votes when I made them for a corporate customers meeting the other day. I just love how my corporate clients know how to sweeten up deals, give the prospective buyers brownies my friend, and it is as good as signed!
They are super easy to make and doesn’t take too long, so you can whip them up in minutes and still have some spare time to, well, I don’t know – read a couple of pages of your favorite book?
Whatever you choose to do in your “me time”, be sure to get a batch of these in the oven asap, and surprise a friend for tea with these moreish chocolate brownies.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and prepare a small square pan (I used a 19 x 19 cm oven pan) with baking paper.
This recipe makes about 20 small slabs or fingers of Oats and Coconut Brownies. I hope you will be able to try them out some time, and if you do – indulge, enjoy and let me know how they turned out!
