Bake some brownies!

When your day has worn you out, how about some chocolate brownies to get rid of that stress? Ingredients that you have in your cupboard can create these soft chewy brownies.   

 

Ingredients:

1/2 C of Unsweetened Cocoa

1 C of melted butter

1 1/4 C of sugar    (Of course you can use xylitol for your diet, but this won’t make your brownie chewy)

3 eggs

2tsp of vanilla extract

1/2 C of flour

2 pinches of salt

 

Procedure:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (that’s about 180 °C) for five minutes.

2. Grease your cake pan. I only have a round 9″ pan. A square pan is better to make square slices.

3. In a bowl, add melted butter, unsweetened cocoa, and sugar. Mix well.

4. In another bowl add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix them well also.

5. Mix the egg mixture in the bowl with the butter mixture.

6. Add flour and salt. Mix thoroughly (but don’t overmix!!!).

7. Pour the batter in the greased pan and sprinkle some sliced almonds (I only had sunflower seeds so I used them).

8. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on your oven) in the preheated oven. Do not over bake! Poke with a skewer and check for crumbs!

9. Let the brownie cool down on a wire cooling rack. Flip it upside down and cool the bottom  also.

Now you have a sweet chewy brownie to complete your day!

Here’s a slice for you.

Let’s take a closer look at this chewy brownie. *MMMM*

 

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You can pour some melted chocolate or chocolate syrup to make it sweeter (unfortunately I have already finished mine… ).

Enjoy!
