Low fat chocolate brownie recipe, plus lambs

Some of you have asked for the recipe for the chocolate brownies that I pictured in the February scavenger hunt.  I got the recipe off the back of a packet of Tesco prunes

Ingredients

100g ready to eat prunes, chopped

6 tbsp apple juice

175g plain chocolate, roughly chopped

4 eggs, beaten

300g dark brown sugar

150g plain flour, sieved

50g mini marshmallows

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C/Gas Mark 4

Line a 23cm square tin with baking parchment

Put prunes and apple juice in a saucepan, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.  Stir well to make a puree.

Stir chocolate into prunes and set aside to melt.

Beat eggs and sugar together for 5 minutes or until foamy.  Fold in the prune mixture and flour.  

Spoon into tin.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the brownies are cooked through.

Scatter with marshmallows, and cook for 2 minutes.

Leave to cool.  Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Disclaimer  - When I was buying the prunes and noticed the recipe on the back, I bought a bar of chocolate to make the brownies.  It wasn't until I'd started making them that I read the quantity and realised that I'd only got 100g and was 75g short!  I added cocoa until the colour and taste seemed right, so if you make them they'll be slightly different (there wasn't a photo on the packet to go by either).

Here's a few lamb photos

This little one hadn't long been born and kept falling down

While his Mum was occupied in cleaning him up another bigger lamb that didn't belong to her, snook in for a cheeky feed!

There's still time to enter my giveaway.  It ends on 22nd March.
