TWD: Honey Nut Brownies


Sweet, sweet TWD.  It's been too long.

I have been a major slack-a-saurus with my Tuesdays with Dorie baking.  I think I just got burnt out on all the sugar.  Then I saw the words "honey nut brownies" and stopped in my tracks.  I had to make them.  Love me some honey!


Here's what you need to know about these brownies:
-they're sweetened with (mostly) honey.  there's a little white sugar as well, but i think i would leave it out next time, they're plenty sweet with the honey alone.
-they are cake-like brownies, if you're into that kind of thing.
-i easily subbed whole wheat pastry flour (Bob's Red Mill!) for the white flour with no problems.
-you should use good honey for these. by good honey, i mean honey that tastes good to you- doesn't have to be expensive. i used Trader Joe's Desert Mesquite Honey for these, but i also love Savannah Bee (really love).


Try these if you're looking for a little something different in the brownie department.
Thanks to Suzy Homemaker for these delicious treats!
