Coconut oil is a great alternative to butter and it smells divine! Asda have launched the lowest priced extra virgin coconut oil at only £2.35 a jar and to celebrate this exciting news I thought why not make Bounty Brownies with the “Baking Brothers” (since we have started baking more I thought the boys needed an official title!).

Virgin coconut oil keeps the raw nature of the coconut so it retains the incredible smell and taste of coconut. It’s a pleasure to bake with and apparently has lots more health benefits than butter. Coconut oil has gone from being a niche ingredient to a kitchen staple. At that price I will definitely be keeping stocked up from now on.

Not only does it help with frying, baking and roasting it doubles up to work with your beauty regimes (from tooth whitener to re-hydrating your skin and hair), so you can look and feel beautiful from adding coconut oil to your life.

Bounty Brownies Ingredients

175g Asda Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

85g plain flour

250g caster sugar

3 eggs

4 Bounty bars

40g cocoa powder

Organic Almonds Whole (optional, but they do go well with the taste of sweet coconut).

Preheat the oven (fan oven about 160C.

Coconut oil and the flour (sieved in by youngest).

Followed by the eggs, cocoa powder and sugar.

The Bounty bars were cut up and added into the final mixture, make sure you mix them in well.

We popped it in the oven for about 25 minutes (checking the brownie with a cocktail stick making sure it came away quite clean to make sure it was ready).

Then its a good idea to leave the brownies to cool so you can make a better job of cutting them up, patience is not my strong point so I tend to try and serve them as soon as possible.

My eldest is not usually a fan of Bounty bars but he could not get enough of these Bounty Brownies. Furthermore if you liked this recipe why not try After Eight Brownies too.
