Chocolate brownie
In those early newborn days I was lucky if I managed to throw together a pre-made pack of chocolate brownie (Costco’s are hands down the best pre-made brownie in the WORLD).
However, now my little munchkin is starting to sleep through, at 17 months *must not jinx it*, I’m starting to get some proper baking done. So, if baked right (aka not at 3am with a teething toddler), these brownies are to die for! Try to resist eating the dough and stick to the ingredients as much as you can for the best results… My mouth is watering already! I pour the mix onto a baking tray lined with foil, it makes this massively delicious brownie/cookie mess!
400g Dark Chocolate (you need stuff with about 50% cocoa solids, so not green & blacks etc)
125g Butter
1 mug soft light brown sugar (I think this is about 75-100g)
3/4 mug plain flour (about 125g, i think)
2 eggs
Melt the butter with 250g of chocolate (I just put it in a microwave for 30s)
add the flour and sugar then cream it together (can help to sift them both to remove big lumps)
Add the eggs
Add the remaining chocolate as chunks
Pour into a lined baking tray (I use tin foil, makes it easy to remove)
Bake for about 180C until a knife comes out clean
Enjoy!
