Good afternoon!

Ash is celebrating her four-year-olds birthday soon and is planning on making some decadent chocolate brownies for him. But we've realised that none of us have a family recipe to share/recommend.

Can you help recommend a tasty brownie recipe?

Good evening, April. I have just posted a brownie recipe for you. I haven’t tried it yet, but I am sure you will enjoy it.

Preparation


• Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.

• In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.

• Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.

• Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.

• Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.

• Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!

• Enjoy!

They both look delicious but I use olive oil in place of butter because of the high fat content in butter, it’s bad for cholesterol levels. I love brownies.yum.

Best brownies ever ...
Nutella Brownies

yield: 12 Brownies

Ingredients 72g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs, at room temperature 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 and 1/4 cups (370g) Nutella, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup plain flour Optional: 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips sea salt

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the bottom and sides of a 22 cm square baking pan with aluminium foil or parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides to easily lift the brownies out of the pan when cool. Set aside.

With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and beat on high speed for 1-2 minutes until creamed. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in 1 cup Nutella and salt. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them in.

Pour the batter into prepared baking pan. Drop teaspoonsful of the remaining 1/4 cup Nutella on top. Using a knife, swirl the Nutella into the batter. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Bake the brownies for 32-36 minutes. Keep your eye on them and test with a toothpick to determine doneness. If the toothpick comes out with only a couple moist crumbs, the brownies are done. The brownies may take a few minutes longer; all ovens vary. Mine took 36 minutes.

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the foil out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. You can top each with more sea salt if desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. They won't last that long!

Make ahead tip: For longer storage, freeze the brownies for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then bring to room temperature before serving.

A packet mix may not be what you are after but I love Greens brownie mix. I cannot tell the difference between that and home made and it’s so cheap and easy to make.

And contains palm oil like most of these boxed brownie mixes bad for the orangatuns habitat and for your cholesterol, make your own from scratch it’s not that hard.

Good for you. I buy packet mix with no dairy and good for gluten free.
