I love brownies! We had a pack of chestnut purée in the cupboard so my mum and I decided to make some simple but yummy brownies. We used gluten-free flour and dairy-free spread, but you can use butter and normal wheat flour if you like!
You’ll need:
- 200g dark chocolate (min. 70%)
- 2 eggs
- 150g dairy-free spread
- 100g soft brown sugar
- 150g self-raising flour, can be gluten-free
- 100g chestnut purée
How to make the brownies:
- Set the oven temperature to 180°C.
- Melt the chocolate and in glass bowl above simmering water, then add the spread or butter. Mix well and let it cool.
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar until fluffy, then add cool, the melted chocolate. Using a sieve, add the flour. Combine into a smooth batter.
- In a small a bowls mash the chestnut purée into a smooth mixture.
- Stir this into the batter. But don’t over-stir!!!
- Line a square (about 22 cm) pan with baking paper, then spoon the batter into it and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until it’s almost cooked through (it should be a bit gooey). When completely cooled, slice into cubes.
Tip
- Put it in the fridge, before you slice it because it’s very crumbly!
- For the same reason, eat it over a plate and wash your hands afterwards!
