When it comes to brownies they have to have to have a fudgey texture. Cake brownies have no place in my life and this recipe has quickly become my foolproof recipe. I baked these for a little get together I had with my friends and they went down a treat. The great thing about this recipe is that you can adapt however you like. Add in nuts or white chocolate chips or keep things simple with vanilla.
Another plus of this recipe is that it's all made in one pan. There's nothing worse than when a recipe calls for lots of bowls and pans. It means a lot of washing up which I can't be bothered to do, so a one pan recipe is always a winner.
