nts
• 1 cup unsweetened apple purée/sauce
• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 3/4 cup self-raising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup (70g) walnuts, chopped
Preheat the oven to 175°C and lightly spray or oil a 20x20cm baking dish.

Place apple purée in a medium-sized bowl. Sift in the cocoa, flour and baking soda. Add the sugar and salt and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix as this will toughen the brownies. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and the walnuts. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and bake for around 25-30 minutes or until the centre feels set and fudgy when a skewer is inserted.

Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before turning out. Cool completely before slicing into squares. If desired, dust with sifted icing sugar before serving.

I've made this one a few times, and it works well - you don't miss the butter at all. Someone gave me a huge bag of tiny windfall apples, which I just halved and stewed in a little water, skins, core and all - then mashed through a colander to get the puree which I froze in cupfuls, flattened in ziplock bags. Perfect for this recipe.

I love them, but Coeliac daughter has not acquired the taste for them yet and this looked like a nice Gluten free Brownie to try out. I have a few Gluten free brownies recipes to try (3) and am looking for the best that will keep moist for more than a day, not crumble when I pick it up and tastes yummy for her. I have one from the 'Gluten free made easy' site and they are usually great recipes. I think we will be eating lots of brownie until I find the right one....
I am working my way through lots of baking so I can cook her food she is actually excited about and likes it.

I have also made this one - its very rich by comparison with Katrina's recipe that I usually make as quoted above but still delicious - more of a grown up brownie probably

Here is one made with prunes and it is really nice as well , just to be a bit different
Lite Chocolate Brownie
1/2 cup pitted prunes
1 cup water
125g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup strong black coffee
2 large eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt
1/2 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa
Place prunes and water in a small saucepan and simmer until prunes are very tender and liquid has mostly reduced, stirring until prunes break up into purée Remove mix to cool
Heat oven to 160C fan bake Line a 17cm x 27cm slice tin
Place chocolate and coffee in a bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water or microwave to melt
Stir until smooth, then combine with prune mixture
Place eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until thick and pale
Fold in chocolate prune mix
Sift flour, baking soda and cocoa powder together and gently fold into chocolate mix, to just incorporate dry ingredients
Spread mix into prepared slice tin
Bake 45 minutes or until skewer inserted in the centre comes out moist but clean
Remove to cool in tin before lifting out
Peel off baking paper and slice to serve
Tip
the prune mix gives this lite brownie a lovely chewy texture and replaces any need for butter in this recipe

Bake at 185°C for 40 minutes, until the cake springs back.

I probably still make this at least once a week, it is an easy delish recipe.. One I always get asked to make for others, that and for some reason "Belgium square" think it is a pleasant memory thing??

I was going to make these last week, but didn't get to it, so they will be on the list for next week.
From Nigella Lawson.

Bacon Brownies

125 grams streaky bacon (thin rashers, finely chopped)
2 teaspoons golden syrup
150 grams softened unsalted butter
250 grams soft light brown sugar
75 grams cocoa powder
150 grams plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
4 large eggs (beaten)
150 grams chopped dark chocolate (or dark chocolate chips/morsels)

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375ºF and get out a 25cm / 10 inch square tin and line it, or (as I prefer) a throwaway foil baking tray measuring 30cm x 20cm x 15cm / 12 x 8 x 6 inches.
Heat a heavy based (preferably non stick) frying pan and when warm, add the streaky bacon bits and cook, stirring occasionally until beginning to crisp. Add the syrup, stir again to mix and transfer the sticky streaky bacon bits to a cold surface, either on some foil or a plate. The syrupy streaky bacon juices left behind are just delicious when mopped up with some bread: a cook’s treat!
Melt the butter over a gentle heat in a medium sized saucepan and when it’s melted, add the sugar, stirring with a wooden spoon.
Now take the pan off the heat and add the cocoa, flour, bicarbonate of soda and stir, then add the beaten eggs and stir again to mix.
Add the chopped dark choc or chips and the streaky bacon bits, breaking them up with your hands if necessary. Fold together then pour and scrape into the tin.
Place in the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes; you want a little gooeyness inside still.
Transfer the tin to a wire rack and sit until cooled a little (but not to the point of coldness) and cut into 16 squares.

Mmm, this looked so good and easy. I don't have any chocolate or chips at the moment (they never survive long enough at our place to get to the baking process!) so this looked ideal. It's currently baking, so I'll let you know the verdict soon :)

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

Simple & Fabulous!

250g butter, melted but not too hot

440g sugar

4 free range eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup of sifted 21% fat Dutch cocoa

vanilla together.

I add them to chocolate self-saucing batter too. Just delicious.

Oh yum, sounds awesome, never thought to do that. Given all the sugar in brownies I have been trying some substituting sugar with dextrose and they work pretty well - esp if you don't like things too sweet. Gwenyth Paltrow also has a great recipe that uses brown rice syrup and maple syrup instead of sugar - given the sucrose in maple I use all brown rice and it is really yum. I also use a very light olive oil as opposed to a vege oil. Happy to type out if anyone wants the recipe.

Where do you get the brown rice syrup from? I have seen agave syrup but not that ///

Don't go near agave. It is loaded with sucrose and any company calling it a health food should be taken to Court. Soooooo misleading. Its like coconut sugar. As far as I am aware there is nothing to back up the claim it is any better for you than normal sugar. Anyhow, to your question.

I get mine from an organic store in Tauranga. There are several types. The one I use is made by Chantal Organics and has a mild sweet nutty flavor. I use it wherever a recipe calls for golden syrup, honey, or maple. You can buy online from iherb.com if no one in your town/city stocks it.
