If you’re like me, then you’re probably fairly infatuated with coconut. And brownies. Some favourite easy snacks of ours involve sliced banana covered in coconut, and mixed dried fruit blended with a dash of milk and coconut oil, then rolled and covered in coconut. Mmmm. So yummy.
BUT. If you want to actually make something that takes a few moments longer, requires a few more ingredients and is a WHOLE lot tastier and presentable then you should give these brownies from The Colourful Housewife a go. They’re great for party food, lunch box treats or holiday baking fun.
It’s probably important to note that you will be left with half a packet of choc bits that are not required ing the recipe. Be subtle. Be quick. Be sneaky. Hide these beautiful drops of chocolicious joy for your taste bud satisfaction when no one’s looking. Mwhahaha! You’re welcome.

Ingredients: 1 block of Cadbury cooking chocolate 2 teaspoons of coconut oil 1/2 Cup of coconut (add more if you like a lot of coconut) What to do: Put the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave bowl and place in the microwave on high for 1 minute When it's melted, stir through until it's a runny consistency Add the coconut and stir through Next, pour the mixture into molds or, if you want them thin like golden roughs, use cookie cutters and pour enough in just to cover the bottom of mold Place in the fridge for 4 hours Once firm, push down hard on the cookie cutters to cut off any leakage, and pop out the chocolates, then do the same with the molds Next, consume them before the kids get home!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a chef I am not. So when I find a recipe that a) is easyb) I already have the ingredients forc) gets eaten I am sold. 2 cups of dried apricots2 cups of desiccated coconut1 tin condensed milk Whack it all in the food processor. I used my Magimix because it's an absolute GEM for this kind of thing. Blend it all together until you're left with a lump of apricot yumminess.Roll it into small balls, cover in more coconut and pop in the fridge for a few hours. YUM YUM YUM! (I'm eating one as I type)

Every child loves a bit of a treat now and then. Admittedly, we don't send treats to school, except the occasional Tiny Teddies. However, now that my daughter is in "big" school, she comes home telling me about all the lovely treats her classmates have in their lunch boxes. So my go-to treat is homemade muffins. There are so many options when it comes to muffins. Practically every fruit there is can be turned into a delicious muffin. So back to the recipe. I have discovered the most amazing food blogger. She calls herself Phoodie and she can be found at www.phoodie.com.au . I came across her Banana and Coconut Muffins the other day. Seriously, they are so easy to make and you don't even have to use the whizzer. In fact, it's better that you don't. Make sure you don't overmix. And as she says, the recipe is flexible. You can use whatever fruit you like. And these are how mine turned out! The recipe can be found at https://phoodie.com.au/2012/07/15/banana-and-coconut-muffins/ Happy baking!
