Amy’s eggcellent brownie recipe

With Easter on the way, our Senior Project Manager in Construction, Amy Robinson joined us in the kitchen to give us her delicious recipe for Mini Egg Brownies.

Introducing you to the recipe for the best brownies you will ever taste. I am bias because of course, I made them, but I have to admit, I did steal the recipe from my best friend!

For birthday celebrations and gatherings with my friends, the brownies were always the most requested treat.

As a keen baker, I was desperate to know the recipe so I could bake them myself and here it is…



Ingredients
200g dark chocolate (supermarket own brand)
250g unsalted butter
100g white chocolate chips or buttons (optional)
200g Mini Eggs (or any other preferred filling. Suggestions: nuts and dried fruit or chocolate buttons)
80g cocoa powder
65g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
360g caster sugar
4 large eggs

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Line a 24cm square baking tin (or roasting tray) with greaseproof paper.
  • Snap the chocolate into a large bowl, add the butter and place over a pan of simmering water, until melted, stirring regularly.
  • Sift the cocoa powder and flour into a separate bowl, add the baking powder and sugar, then mix together.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture and stir together well.
  • Add your filling of choice and mix in so evenly distributed.
  • Beat the eggs, then mix in until you have a silky consistency.
  • Pour the brownie mix into the baking tin, and place in the oven for around 25 minutes. You don’t want to overcook them so, unlike cakes, you don’t want a skewer to come out clean – the brownies should be slightly springy on the outside but still gooey in the middle.
  • Allow to cool in the tray, and ideally refrigerate overnight.
  • Carefully transfer to a large chopping board and cut into chunky squares. Delicious served with a dollop of ice cream or with a cup of tea.

I don’t bake them too often, but when I do, they are an indulgent treat that everyone seems to go crazy for. They are easy to make, and you can add whatever filling you fancy to make them different for every occasion.

Making them for office meetings always brightens everyone’s day.

Enjoy!
Amy
