Best Brownies Ever!!!!

I came across a recipe for brownies on facebook a while ago and saw that it needed golden syrup which I didn't have at the time so I put off making them and put golden syrup on my list. This week I finally got organised and picked it up as well as some dark chocolate chips and today was the day!

Unfortunately I could not find the recipe on facebook and so took to trusty google for some recipe ideas...none of which had golden syrup in and I had had all the ingredients needed anyway!

I chose a recipe from VegWeb (from an anonymous poster) called Chewy Gooey Brownies because I am one of those people who like either rock hard brownies or chewy ones...not the soft crumbly cake type.

I mostly stuck to the recipe but I changed the nuts and added in my chocolate chips.

Here goes:

Ingredients:


1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup of cocoa powder (I didn't actually measure and probably put more in than this...I love my brownies VERY chocolatey!)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used sunflower)
1/2 cup nuts (I used a mixture of chopped mixed nuts and flaked almonds)
chocolate chips- as many as you wish :)

Method- so so easy!!!

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius (350F)
2. Mix together the dry ingredients. 
3. Add the wet ingredients. 
4. Stir well.
5. Put into a greased/lined baking tray.
6. Bake for 20 minutes
7. Let cool.
8. ENJOY!!!

These seriously couldn't be any easier or any tastier. My boyfriend and I are a little hooked and we haven't even had dinner yet. They are the perfect level of hardness and chewyness and leave a rich chocolatey taste long after finishing....making you want more! Make sure you have plenty of people to eat them so you don't scoff them all at once. I have no self control when it comes to chocolate brownies!
