Honey chocolate brownies



Honey Chocolate Brownie



Honey chocolate brownies

On the eve of a sugar-free stint, I had a few bars of dark chocolate which I wanted to use up, lest there was any temptation during the fast. Since I did not have much time and only a few eggs I decided to make something quick and easy, yet delicious. But also something that did not need sugar. The brownie was my first choice since the honey adds to the rich taste and moistness that I associate with brownies. I am not a huge fan of the cake-like brownie. A brownie should not be dry.

Ingredients:

220g dark chocolate

150g dairy free margarine

3 eggs

100g gluten free self-raising flour

170g honey

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a 20cm by 30cm baking tray with greased baking paper or wrapping foil.

In a large non-metallic bowl, add the dark chocolate and margarine and pop into the microwave for about two and a half minutes to melt together. Mix to combine and leave to one side to cool.

Beat in the eggs and honey to the cooled chocolate mixture. Next add the flour and fold to combine. Pour into the baking tray and pop into the oven for about 30 minutes. Leave to cool in the tin before cutting into squares. These brownies keep for about a week so make a good lunchbox treat.



Decadent but with honey!

Indulgent Brownies

Indulgent Brownies

Brownies are supposed to be indulgent…but it does not have to be too unhealthy. The inclusion of alot of dark chocolate compensates for the lesser amount of sugar and fat. I do not add nuts to brownies as I think the chocolate should do the talking!

These blondies are very quick and easy as well as less expensive than its brother, the chocolate brownie, due to the avoidance of too much chocolate. It is so yummy though although this recipe uses much less sugar than other recipes out there.
