Coffee Brownies

Wednesday March 12, 2014: We had a nice break from the cold weather for maybe 3 or 4 days, all these days in which I actually got to go on a pleasant run :)  And for a little bit there, I thought 'hey we're finally getting there'  But apparently and all too sadly it's true when they say all good things must come to an end :'(  Yesterday was CRAZY!  These wind was howling sooooo loud!

Friday March 15, 2014: The weather has been great!  Not too hot or cold with the perfect breeze!

Anywho, my sister found this recipe on Pinterest and requested I make them, so here you go.  I must say, it wasn't the texture I had anticipated, but it was amazing regardless, the texture was cakey and also slightly chewy.  I modified this recipe from http://cakesharing.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/box-of-delicious-foodie-pen-pal-june-coffee-brownie-recipe/ .  Happy Eating!

Coffee Brownies
adapted from http://cakesharing.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/box-of-delicious-foodie-pen-pal-june-coffee-brownie-recipe/

1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
15 tablespoons butter (you'll melt this)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons ground coffee beans
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Grease a 13x9 pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt the butter on the stove and add the sugar, salt, ground coffee, and cocoa powder until grainy.  Wait until the mixture cools a bit and then add the eggs, vanilla extract, and flour, transfer into a separate bowl if needed.  Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
