Chilli brownies

Brownies are one of easiest sweet snacks to make! These chilli brownies are spiced up a bit, making them extra special and a bit fiery. Perfect treats for parties, picnics or just with a cup of coffee to wake you up! I made them with dairy-free spread, but normal butter can be used too. The batter is enough for about 12 brownies - if you need more, double the ingredients.
