Unbelievably quick and easy brownies! And mouth-watering too! I thought nothing can beat the low-fat brownie with beetroot, but this is a serious contender... A bit sticky, but deliciously chocolatey. And no eggs needed.
Ingredients
240 g apple puree (I used baby food from a jar)
60 g cocoa powder
125 g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100 g caster sugar
75 g plain chocolate
75 g white chocolate
50 g pecans
icing sugar, to dust
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C, line a 20x20cm baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
2. Pour apple puree into a mixing bowl then sift in the cocoa, flour and bicarbonate of soda. Add the sugar and 2 tbsp of water, then mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate and pecans.
3. Transfer the mixture to the tin, then bake for 25-30 min until the centre feels set but a little fudgy.
4. Cool in the tin for 5 min, then turn out on to a wire rack. When completely cool, slice into squares and dust with icing sugar.
