Gluten Free Blackberry Mocha Brownies – #SpringSweetsWeek
Is it just me or did this week seem really long? Maybe it’s all the chaos going on in our country and the world right now, but I’m definitely glad it’s Friday! I’m definitely going out with a bang though with these Gluten Free Blackberry Mocha Brownies!
This recipe is sponsored by Door County Coffee in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. All opinions are my own.
Door Country was SO generous with their coffee samples they send to each of us bloggers for #SpringSweetsWeek. They gave us at least a dozen flavors to try out! Some of them, I wasn’t so sure about. I didn’t know if Peanut Butter and coffee would go to together with their Peanut Butter Crunch flavor. Or Blueberry? Not common flavors, I know, but let me tell you, they’re all absolutely delicious! Peanut Butter is amazing in coffee! Blueberry too. But my all time favorite, that I did not expect, was their Blackberry Shortbread. Divine is the only word for it.
When I got all of Door County’s flavored coffees, I knew I wanted to make a mocha brownie. The combination of coffee and chocolate just pairs exceptionally well, don’t you think? But it needed a little twist. A little, something-something extra. So, of course, blackberry! That just seemed logical to me 🙂 And berries were coming back into season. Blackberries are readily available right now and at a great price! Try this recipe out while berries are here for the taking!
