Do you like fudgey, gooey, chocolate brownies? Well look no further. I have the ideal recipe for you....
I often scroll through my Instagram feed (which is full of food by the way) and see the most outrageous brownie photos just begging me to make and eat them. I stumbled across this little gem when reading Delicious Magazine and I fell instantly in love! The recipe is so easy that it actually takes longer for the oven to heat up than it does for you to make the brownie mixture. Simple!
Do you have a sweet or savoury tooth? Matilda has a massive sweet tooth and could live on chocolate if she was allowed to! Charlie on the other hand is neither and Mr Farmer definitely does not have a sweet tooth. I will declare right here that I have a sweet tooth. I love baking treats for the kids to take to school but I end up eating them through the week which means by Thursday, they are treat-less! My dad, who works here on the farm full time, often comes in for a coffee during the day and has a sneaky little treat too. He most certainly and unequivocally has a sweet tooth. Perhaps that is where I get mine?
Whenever we have guests on the farm there is always dessert involved! If you are in need of a quick throw together recipe then try this one. It is adapted from the February 2017 Delicious magazine as I reduced the amount of sugar and used a smaller amount of pecans.
Let's go!
Preheat oven to 180 Celcius and line a 21cm square pan with baking paper. If it is a non-stick pan you don't even need to spray it before lining it. I love this recipe because all the ingredients are staple pantry items, except for the pecans perhaps. Here is what you will need:
Ingredients
250 grams of dark chocolate
150 grams of butter
3 eggs lightly beaten
200 grams of caster sugar
1 packet of pecans
50 grams of plain flour
80 grams of dark chocolate chips (I suggest the Nestle choc chunks)
Method
Dry roast the pecans in a small pan on the stove for about 5 minutes stirring constantly so they don't burn. Chop them into small pieces and set them aside. Slowly heat butter and the first lot of chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave. I do it in 30 second bursts and then stir thoroughly before I blast it for another 20 seconds. It depends if you have your butter and chocolate at room temperature so keep an eye on it. Once it has melted sufficiently let it cool while you whisk your eggs and sugar in a bowl.
Add in the cooled chocolate mixture to the eggs and sugar. Add all other ingredients and a pinch of salt if you wish. Mix well and place in lined pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and let it cool completely before serving with ice-cream or double cream! You can be a bit fancy and sift some cocoa powder over them prior to serving but it really doesn't need it. And of course whack all the dishes in the dishwasher and patiently wait for the yummiest brownie known to humankind! I freeze these in small portions and pull them out when needed. I microwave them for 10 seconds and serve with coffee!
