Arhhhh brownies, I do love a good brownie - I mean who doesn't - and today I have a simple yet scrumptious recipe for you that will knock your brownie loving socks off! This recipe is my basic brownie recipe that you can mix with any chocolate chunks or sweet treat but today I whacked in some Cadbury's Diam mini eggs and they taste amazing even if I do say so myself!
What You Will Need
140g of butter
100g light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of salt
115g plain flour
45g good quality cocoa powder
2 packets of Cadbury Diam mini eggs
How To
1. Preheat your oven to gas mark 4 or 350°F (177°C) and line or grease your brownie tray.
2. Melt your butter carefully in the microwave then pop it into your mixing bowl, then add in the caster and brown sugar and beat together until smooth then add in the vanilla extract and the eggs and mix again until combined.
3. Once all of your wet ingredients have been well combined pop in your salt, flour and cocoa powder and mix again until smooth. Because my brownie recipe doesn't require you to melt and add in additional chocolate, I cant stress enough how important it is to use the best cocoa powder you can find to make a super chocolate-y brownie!
4. Pour the brownie mixture into your tray and once you've unwrapped your Diam mini eggs push them into the batter randomly adding as many as you like!
5. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until a knife comes out clean or you can take the brownies out after around 22-25 minutes for a more fudgy brownie which is what I do!
6. Leave to cool completely before chopping into small or big brownies bites and voila!!!
These are literally the easiest brownies to make and like I said before you can use any sweet treat you like instead of the Diam mini eggs, you could chop up any chocolate bar into chunks and mix it through the batter as well as things like smarties and M&M's! You could even dollop Biscoff spread or Nutella on top of the batter and swirl it through, the options are endless!
