Chocolate Brownies (reasonably healthy!) with photo :)

[Amy :-)]

This is a very light brownie, and not very sweet. It is rich only in the chocolate flavour and I thought it was a nice change from most other brownies which are heavy and sweet.
The recipe does not make a large mixture, so be careful not to use a pan too big.

25g cocoa
35ml boiling water
100g butter

Yum Amy, I made brownies this morning

[Yvette]

They look yum Amy, 15 minutes sounds quick for cooking

[Amy :-)]

They do cook very quickly Yvette Its important to check them to make sure they don't overcook. Since there is not much fat in the recipe they would dry out easily if overcooked

I took my double batch from the oven a bit earlier and cut them while warm. They were really fudgy and yummy

[Yvette]

Thanks Ames  Will try them soon and report back

I've got this in the oven now, watching closely.  I'm not too sure if I used the "right" sized pan, so unsure how quick it will cook.  Starting to smell yummy...
The kids will be getting this in their lunchboxes tomorrow unless we eat it all tonight 

[Amy :-)]

Awesome Jo! I'm sure whatever pan you used will be fine
They are better to be undercooked than overcooked And chances are there won't be any left for lunchboxes!

Never mind, Amy, they will still have your zucchini/bacon mini quiches to eat 
When's your recipe book coming out? 

[Amy :-)]

Mmmm, love those quiches Jo Glad you like them too!
Recipe book, I wish!!
