How to make your own easy brownies!

Ease is the name of the game! In addition to being perfect for beginner bakers, this recipe is also handy for pros when time is short! With just 4 ingredients and minimal prep, you'll be adding your finishing touches in no time!

Please note: these instructions are based on a 20cm x 20cm x 7.5cm square baking tin!

Ingredients:

  1. 500g FunCakes Fudge Brownie Mix
  2. 3 eggs (approx 150g)
  3. 250g unsalted (cream) butter
  4. 125g filling of your choice (chocolate drops, chunks, nuts, etc!)

How much time will I need?

Less than 3 hours! Prep in 10-15 minutes, bake for 35 and (ideally) leave in the refrigerator for 2 hours to stiffen.

Instructions:

  1. Begin with your ingredients at room temperature
  2. Preheat the oven to 160 °C (convection oven 140°C).
  3. Melt the butter in a pan.
  4. Put the melted butter, eggs and mix in a bowl.
  5. Mix on low speed for 5 minutes to a smooth batter.
  6. Grease a baking pan (20×20 cm), cover with baking paper, and fill with batter.
  7. Bake the brownie in the middle of the oven for 35 minutes.
  8. After baking, let the brownie cool down on a cooling grid.
  9. Let it stiffen in the refrigerator for 2 hours - the brownie will remain soft and creamy on the inside!

And once you're done? Cut into squares and eat as is, or decorate however you wish! Jessica added a swirl of chocolate frosting, and a dash of colourful sprinkles. Don't they look moreish?!
