Auntie Karlee's Morning Brownies
Why I Love This Recipe
My 4 year old Karlee and I came up with this recipe. Everytime we make it my twin Grandsons (Karlee's nephews) want to eat them for breakfast so we called them Auntie Karlee's Morning Brownies. You can also use water instead of the coffee if you had rather. We have also made them with German Chocolate and swirled melted peanut butter into the batter.
