Chocolaty Honey Dessert
Honey Brownie Recipe
Even though summer is right around the corner and we’ll typically gravitate towards summer fruit desserts, this Jersey girl sometimes craves the chocolaty goodness of a brownie.
This recipe is a very honey flavor forward recipe. By using varietal honey, the unique flavor of each varietal will stand out.
For instance, if we use Jersey Girl Apiary light honey it brings out “marshmallow” notes and I achieved a S’More-like flavored brownie.
If we then use the dark honey from Jersey Girl Apiary it emphasizes the richness of the chocolate and you get a more chocolaty flavor.
This is an easy recipe to make, just add contents to one bowl and mix.
Both honey varietals created a very chewy brownie texture.
You can see the difference in color of the brownies depending on whether you used the light honey (on the left) or the dark honey (on the right).
By storing the baked brownies in an airtight container, the brownies stayed fresh for a week. When baking with honey, baked goods maintain a longer shelf life. The hard part with these brownies is that they are so delicious, they may not last a week!
Recipe:
¼ cup semi melted butter
¾ cup honey
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
4 tbsp cocoa powder
¼ cup chopped nuts
½ cup chocolate chips
In a large microwavable bowl, semi melt the butter. Add the honey and mix together with the butter. (A quick tip for getting out honey from the measuring cup is to first spray cooking spray into the measuring cup before measuring out the honey. The cooking spray allows the honey to easily flow out from the measuring cup) Add the egg and vanilla, mix well. Add in the flour (you may substitute gluten-free flour mix if so desired), baking powder, salt and cocoa powder and mix well. Use which ever chopped nuts (I use chopped pecan) and chocolate chips (I use the semi-sweet mini) into the mixture.
Grease a 9×9 baking pan and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. When crispy edges are present take out of oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
We hope you enjoy the brownies! Let us know which honey varietal you like better, the light or dark honey. If you have any questions or comments about this recipe, please drop a comment.
