Best Ever Brownies (D-F)

I know that I've sung my avocado brownies from every rooftop, and won't shut up about them, but I may have found something better (I have)

A little while ago my mum and I popped over to our friend's for dinner. She cooked us an amazing meal, lamb tagine with apricot and black olive cous cous, I was in absolute heaven.

Then she brought out pudding. Apple Kuchen (oh my goodness!) and brownies.
Now, I've had my fair share of brownies, toffee brownies, peanut & cake batter brownies, oozy brownies, brownies made with avocado, slutty brownies, cakey brownies, raspberry and white chocolate brownies and ooey gooey ones, but this was the best brownie I have ever had.

Just as I thought it couldn't get better, H announced that they were dairy free.

After bugging her daughter for days, E finally gave me the recipe, I tweaked it a bit after doing some googling and calculations (confusing to say the least) so that it only contained dark chocolate (check the allergens to make sure there's no milk!) so there was no way anyone could go wrong with it.

I can't get across how good these are so whack on the oven to 180C

125g dark chocolate

150g prunes, pureed

200g soft light brown sugar

3 egg whites

1tsp vanilla essence

65g plain flour

First weigh and puree your prunes, once they're pureed, have an open mind because they'll taste delicious.

Mix the pureed prunes into the soft brown sugar, the add the vanilla.

Weigh and melt your chocolate,

Then add the prune mixture to the chocolate and stir until smooth and silky.

Finally, sift in the flour, add a few handful of nuts if you wish then pour into a 6inch square tin and bake for 1 hour or until firm to touch.

After you've waited for that cruel hour to pass, whip them out and let them cool in the tray, when they've solidified a little, cut them up and gorge yourself, after that long hour of waiting, you deserve it.

I thought this was especially fitting after the most recent GBBO episode!

I made these for a girlie sleepover with two of my best girlies before we headed off to uni and Ellie headed off to Australia, snuggled in duvets, watching classic films and eating so much we were groaning and holding our tummies!

The prunes in these make these deliciously rich, moist and fudgey, they tick all of my brownie boxes, the only thing they don't do is tap dance!

Just look at Wispy asking..
