Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup wholemeal self raising flour
- 4 tablespoons cocoa*
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons mashed kidney beans
- ½ cup low fat natural yogurt
Tip
- For darker, richer brownies use dark cocoa
Method
- Preheat oven to 170˚C fan forced
- Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper
- Sift flour, cocoa and sugar into a bowl
- Add in the beaten eggs, vanilla, oil and beans and mix till combined. Add yogurt and mix.
- Do not over mix. The mixture should be moist enough to just hold its shape on a spoon. If it is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of reduced fat milk
- Bake for 16 minutes. Remove the brownies from the oven when the sides are just starting to firm up, and the middle still feels quite soft. It will firm up as it cools. Do not overcook as it will be dry.
