Baby and I both love baking, so a few days ago we made these yummy chocolate brownies. They were so quick and easy to make, definitely one to do when you haven’t got much time.
Being on the Cambridge diet, there were none for me, but Baby and the neighbours enjoyed them!
The recipe uses the all in one mixing method, which is music to any busy parent’s ears!
Ingredients
- 150g self-raising flour
- 125g caster sugar
- 125g softened butter

- Prepare a medium sized square or rectangular tin – approx 25cm square.
