Best Boy owner Wayne Shive recently had a brownie that he will not soon forget and while it is not made with one of his signature sauces, he felt it was worthy of a share with his friends, retail partners and family!
He recently met the folks of Lavender Hill Farm in Niles, Michigan while working his tasting booth at the Fernwood Botanical Holiday Market and had a chance to taste this noteworthy brownie. He also got the recipe and that is what we are sharing with you today!
Chocolate Lavender Brownies
2 tsp. dried culinary English Lavender (can be found at most markets and craft stores)
3 cups sugar
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup plus 2 TB cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
¾ pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 325° F. Butter and flour a 9” x 13” pan, set aside.
Add lavender to a small food processor with one TB of the sugar. Pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and add the flour, cocoa and remaining sugar.
Melt the butter in a microwave. Let cool for a few minutes and add the eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
