Best Ever Brownies
Rich, fudgy and so much better than any box brownie! Just 10 minutes to whip up. You don't even need a mixer to make these Best Ever Brownies
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 150 g Butter melted
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 125 g White sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 XL Free range eggs room temperature
- 75 g Plain (all purpose) flour
- 75 g Cocoa Dutch process cocoa gives a smooth flavour
- 50 g Dark chocolate chips
- 50 g Walnuts, chopped optional, but so good!
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 150°C/ 300°F or 130°C fan
- Spray a 20cm (8 inch) square pan with cooking spray and line it with baking paper
- In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and sugars, then whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs, then whisk well for a good 2 minutes.
- Sift over the flour and cocoa, then fold through until almost combined
- Add the chocolate chips and nuts, then fold through. Be careful not to overmix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth if necessary (you can just give the pan a wiggle, or you can use a spatula to spread the mixture)
- Bake for 45 minutes, until the edges are slightly crispy, but the centre is still a little gooey. The brownie will continue to cook as it cools in the pan.
- Remove the brownie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- You can reheat each brownie square in the microwave for 20 seconds, to serve it as a dessert, warm with ice cream.
- Brownies should keep well on the bench, in an airtight container for a few days.
- Nuts are totally optional and can be swapped for cashews, pecans or even more chocolate chips. They add great texture though!
