Ooey, Gooey Brownies!

This is my favourite treat of all. Brownies, I love them even more now that I've found a way to make them dairy free. They are a cheeky treat loved by adults and children alike and a perfect rainy day/lockdown activity. I mean its not like there’s anything else going on at moment. Chocolate brownies are the best! Having a bad day? Brownies. Good day? Brownies. The wind changes? BROWNIES!

Let’s be honest, its chocolate, where can you go wrong? That being said, the Aztecs banned women from having chocolate because they considered it an aphrodisiac. Chocolate was considered the drink of the Gods and was used to have success with women. Well it certainly is a success with women, so jokes on them.

Ingredients:

200 grams 85% dark chocolate (the best kind I like to use is Green and Blacks)

150 grams Plain Flour

200 grams Coconut oil

450 grams of caster sugar

1 tsp Vanilla extract

1 tsp of baking powder

4 Large Eggs

Method:

pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees.

Melt the coconut and chocolate together in a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water*

In a separate bowl combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla and eggs together so that they form a nice thick mixture.

Combine the melted chocolate and coconut oil together with the flour mixture and stir well so they are mixed in well.

Line a baking tray with grease proof paper and pour the mixture in, spread the mixture around the tin evenly.

Bake for 20-30 mins, check if the brownies are done by sticking a knife in, if it comes out cleanly then they are ready!

Sprinkle a little icing sugar on.

Enjoy!

*CHEAT: if you're in a rush zing the coconut oil and the chocolate together in a microwave for 2 mins ;)
