Baking with Children Easy Low-Calorie Brownies
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 100 grams Margarine (unsalted if you have it)
- 100 grams Light brown sugar (or white sugar)
- 2 Eggs
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 few drops Vanilla oil (or vanilla essence)
- Line a brownie tray with baking paper.
- Melt the margarine in a microwave (this usually takes about 3 minutes).
- Add the cocoa into the margarine a little at a time and mix until smooth.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them for 3 minutes.
- Gradually mix the sugar into the eggs well.
- Add the vanilla oil to the eggs and sugar, then pour the cocoa mixture from Step 3 into the bowl too.
- Combine well.
- Sift in the cake flour.
- Then fold in the cake flour using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the pan and even out the surface (the mixture should be quite firm).
- Bake the brownies in an oven preheated to 160C for 25 minutes.
- Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into slices and serve.
- I think that these brownies are relatively sweet, but since they're made with just cocoa they may have quite a mature flavour.
- When I take these to children's parties I usually coat them in white chocolate that's been melted in a bain-marie.
- I also sometimes cover them in chocolate sprinkles.
- Unsalted margarine is ideal for this recipe but lately I've found myself using a low-calorie spread that's been on offer at the shop.
- For my friends with a sweet tooth, I tend to add 50-70 g non-melt chocolate chips into the mixture as well.
