Carol’s Chocolate Brownies…

This is my truly tried tested old faithful recipe for brownies and verified by everyone who has tried it….I don’t know why I have never shared it with you here on WP…I thought I had but never mind I now have shared it for you chocolate brownie lovers to enjoy! This recipe is part of my 20%… If you are wondering it is my 80% healthy eating and 20% indulgence plan…And indulgence it certainly is and very enjoyable BUT if you read the ingredients it is as healthy as a chocolate brownie can be….. lol

Chocolate Brownies.

Homemade Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of oil ( I use coconut oil)
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2/3 cup of good cocoa powder
  • 1 cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp of vanilla essence
  • 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Let’s Bake!

Mix oil, sugar and vanilla together then beat in the eggs.
Combine all dry ingredients except for walnuts and stir into mixture.
Add walnuts.
Put batter into a prepared baking dish and cook for about 1 hr on 175C/ 350F.

N.B. I sometimes add a 1/2tsp of dried chilli …those of you who know me know I just have to..ha ha

Next time I am going to add just a few cranberries or blueberries and maybe lose the walnuts and add some ground almonds…..
Also depending on what I have in the cupboard, I have used half oil and half-melted butter…

Homemade Chocolate Brownies

This is probably the best brownie mix I have made as the top is nice and crispy but with a gooey underneath…just how I like it or maybe just how this temperamental oven of mine works…lol

Enjoy!

Thank you once again for reading this post if you make the brownies please let know how they turned out… I hope you all have a great week xx

    “As healthy as a chocolate brownie can be,”—that’s good enough for me. I’m going to give these a try, Carol. I don’t cook much, but I do like to bake. I guess that’s why I have such a trim figure.🤣🤣
