Healthy Food Guide chocolate brownie
Who doesn't love a good bit of chocolate brownie!? Especially great warm straight out of the oven! Much healthier than store brought that can be full of sugar and butter.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened apple purée or sauce
⅓ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup self-raising flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
½ cup dark chocolate chips
¾ cup (70g) walnuts, chopped
How to make:
Preheat oven to 175°C and lightly spray or oil a 20x20cm baking dish with oil.
Place apple purée in a medium-sized bowl. Sift in cocoa, flour and baking soda. Add sugar and salt and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix as this will toughen the brownies. Gently fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Transfer to prepared baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the centre feels set and fudgy when a skewer is inserted.
Cool in dish for 5-10 minutes before turning out. Cool completely before slicing in squares. Dust with sifted icing sugar before serving if preferred.
