Delicious Chocolate Brownies

Recently, I searched high and low for a chocolate brownie recipe that would cater for both a nut and gluten allergy. I couldn't find something (they all either had nuts or 'normal' flour) so I adapted a recipe from BBC Good Food - see their recipe here.


Ingredients:
185g Real Butter
185g Dark Chocolate
85g Gluten Free Flour
40g Cocoa Powder
100g White Chocolate, chopped.
3 Large Eggs
275g Golden Caster Sugar

Method:
1. In a bowl, melt the butter and the chocolate together in the microwave. (I find melting 20 seconds at a time and stirring works best). Once melted - leave it cool.
2. Pre heat your oven to 160c (fan oven) and line a tin with non sticking baking parchment.
3. In a bowl, sieve together the flour and the cocoa powder. 
4. In another bowl mix the 3 eggs and the golden caster sugar together with an electric mixer on the max speed until they are thick. You will know they are done when the mixture runs off a spoon and stays on the surface of the mixture for a second or two. This could take over 5 minutes.
5. Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the egg/sugar mixture and fold in with a rubber spatula. It is important to fold it in gently or you will lose the air in the mixture. See a video here.
6. Sieve the flour/cocoa mix into the wet mixture and fold it into the mixture with the rubber spatula. Continue until the dry mix is incorporated but do not mix it too much.
7. Fold in the chopped white chocolate chunks.
8. Pour into the lined tin, ensuring it is at an even level in the tin.
9. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. You can check it with a skewer in the middle to ensure it is not still wet. If it is, pop it back in the oven for a few more minutes. Though, it is okay if it's just a tiny bit gooey as it will harden up when cooling.
10. Once it is done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin. Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and lift out from the tin onto a plate.

Apparently these last in an airtight container for two weeks or in the freezer for a month, but trust me - you won't have any leftovers! They're amazing.
