We came back from school this afternoon to the clap of thunder. The house was cold and the general feeling was one of doom and gloom. The hour between 3pm and 4pm is also the proverbial witches hour with the rush for after school snacks, recounting all that happened at school and such. After-school snacks are always tricky because they need to be easily accepted by the girls at the same time not too sugary and relatively quick to fix. To my utter amazement I came across just such a recipe earlier in the day!!
Ready in under 2 mins, chocolatey and as a bonus it went down a treat with the girls as well as the Mister :-) Couldn't ask for more!
This is a recipe for individual brownies made in ramekins or like I did, in Tea cups. The measures therefore are for one serve only. Also it is a 'hold your breath' a microwave recipe which you could whip up in 2 minutes if unexpected guests arrived.
Anyway so here's the list of ingredients for one serve - 1/4 cup Self raising flour1/4 cup Caster sugar (plain sugar is ok too)
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
2 tbsp Vegetable oil
3 tbsp water
Icing Sugar for dusting
Method -
Take a microwave safe bowl (cup or whatever container you are going to serve the brownie in - cook and serve in same container!!) Add the flour, caster sugar, cocoa powder, oil and water to the bowl. Mix well to get a smooth mixture.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 1min 20secs. My microwave is 1200 Watts. You will need to adjust cooking time accordingly.
Remove from microwave and let rest for 2-3 mins. Dust some icing sugar over the top and the brownie is ready to be served. If you like your brownie to be moist, some warm chocolate sauce on the side will do the trick.
Enjoy!!
