Sunday Baking Project: Fudgy Brownies for days or hoardes


 

Second weekend in a row I've made these brownies, first time around was for an unofficial (we're in Covid times people) end of season netball get together where I offered to bring dessert... and this weekend which was to make again for my colleagues at work after listening to the wistful sighs when I described my last weeks' antics.

They are really fudgy and moist,

And it's easy to do and takes very little time, and it makes at least 18 good-sized brownies, 30 smaller ones.   You can start and finish these in an hour.

I got the recipe from the lovely Kim at All Consuming's blog, which she got from Food52.   I tweaked a little between what both these to arrive at these and I think that's what great about this recipe.  You can tweak it easily.  I will add dark chocolate chips and frozen raspberries I think next time.  This time I added peanut butter protein powder and a tsp of baking powder -  the original recipe calls for no baking powder, espresso powder, nuts and icing. Tweak as you feel fit - up to you!


Ingredients:

  • 225gr butter, at room temperature
  • 3 packed cups of brown sugar
  • 1 tb vanilla extract
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 cup peanut protein powder (Omit if you like)
  • 250g milk chocolate chips


Method:
Preheat oven to 170degrees c

Spray a rectangle baking pan (Mine is 23x33cm or 9x13inches) and cover with baking paper and spray again.


Mix your butter with brown sugar until smooth and well combined (about 2-3 mins on low-ish speed)


Then add the vanilla and then the eggs one-by-one and mix well




In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder and in this case the PB2 powder).




While mixing on lowest speed gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet.  Do not add chocolate chips yet.


Try not to eat too much of the mix... it's hard I know.



Pour and spread the mixture into your pan and sprinkle your choc chips on top.
Put into the oven and bake between 23 - 28 minutes.  You basically don't want it jiggly in the middle.



Leave to cool for 30mins to an hour before lifting out of the pan and then cut into squares, triangles, whatever you like :)



Oozy, fudgy goodness.
