Flour-less Chocolate & PB Brownies.

There are many things you probably should't do whilst down with a cold; one of which is baking. But whilst sat in my woolies, sneezing and feeling sorry for myself, the only thing I could think of to boost my mood was bake! 

Today I opted for a little challenge...brownies. Yep, a simple recipe, but my first ever attempt at them. And to make it a little more fun, they're flour-less and peanut buttery! 

What you'll need:

-4oz dark chocolate

-4oz butter

-2tsp vanilla extract

-2tbsp crunchy peanut butter

-3oz caster sugar

-2 eggs

The Baking:

-Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 3 / 170c

-In a heavy saucepan and on a low heat, melt down the chocolate, butter and PB

-Once melted, take it off the heat and add the sugar and vanilla extract. Then let it cool down for a wee bit.

-Beat in the eggs and then pour the mix into a suitably sized square tray. I didn't have such a tray, so mine came out far too thin. 

-Pop in the oven and bake for 25-30mins. You want the top to be a little crispy and the inside gooey. 

Best eaten warm, with either: ice-cream, custard, yogurt, cream or just on their own.
