Mocha brownies with coffee chocolate buttercream (vegan)
Did you know that a bank will not cash a check with two people’s names on it even if those two people just broke up and live in different states and one of them cries every time they are reunited? I do.
Yesterday Stew and I both drove an hour to meet halfway at a bank off the interstate to deposit our returned security deposit from our old apartment.
Since I can’t seem to understand what a breakup is, I came bearing brownies. Mocha brownies with coffee chocolate buttercream. I don’t even know.
Peace offering?
I also tried to make mint chocolate brownies with mint buttercream but they turned out like this:
Why.
So I’m Macgyvering those into some mint chocolate brownie truffles. We’ll see how that goes…
| Mocha Brownies w/ Coffee Chocolate Buttercream |
- 1 c flour
- 1 c sugar
- 1/3 c + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 c water
- 6 Tbsp coffee + enough vegetable oil to fill one 1/2 cup
- Mix all ingredients together and bake in a greased muffin pan at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
For the buttercream, just use any vegan buttercream recipe and add 1 Tbsp cocoa powder and 3 Tbsp cold coffee.
And then don’t take them to your ex-boyfriend, silly.
Aw
I think it was a sweet gesture. Also, those brownies look orgasmically delicious.
thanks! they are preeeeeeetty awesome
These look and sound lovely. Also, I am notorious for bringing baked goods to guys that don’t deserve them. It’s a sickness really, so I understand your problem.
ha, glad to hear i’m not the only one then…
Katie, while I know you are going through a difficult time right now, I want to let you know how much I appreciate and adore your blog, your sense of humor, your honesty and openness and the reality of your life. So much goes on behind the scenes of a blog that we rarely get to hear about but I really do enjoy reading yours, not because I’m sick and I like reading about your difficult break up, but because you allow your readers to feel for you by opening up. I find your brownie gesture sweet and I really do hope everything works out for the best. Take care!
thanks, tanya!
Yeah don’t give them to your ex give them to meeeeeee!
That is so something I would do lol! Those look delicious by the way!!
aww that’s funny but still sad. Just know you are probably killing him inside by offering delicious desserts.
Does he read your blog at all? I bet he’s been stalking it as much as you said you stalked his FB.
