Healthy Chocolate Brownies

MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE BROWNIE RECIPE⁠
I love soft brownies, and these are the best!⁠
I probably make a tray of them once a month, for us to share at the weekend. They definitely don’t last past that point!⁠
You can also make a few variations on these, including fillings:
  • Halved cherries and almond slivers
  • Blueberry
  • Raisin and cranberry
PS. Guys, yes, we are low on oil use in this family. But sharing a tray of these once a month will not derail a weight loss journey. They are a great alternative to desserts full of refined sugar, saturated fats, eggs and dairy.
