Microwave Chocolate Brownie
Ingredients
- 125g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 150g choc melts (milk or dark)
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 140g caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 80g plain flour
- 30g cocoa
- 80g white chocolate chips (can substitute for chopped walnuts)
Instructions
- Line a 20cm square pyrex dish with baking paper.
- Place butter and chocolate into a small microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minute on medium heat (50%) stir, then continue for another 30 seconds if needed. Gently stir together and set aside to cool whilst you continue with the next step.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla.
- Add the melted chocolate & butter and whisk until well combined.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa. Add the chocolate chips and gently stir using a large spoon or spatula until all the dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- Microwave on 70% or medium-high 4-5 minutes. Check the brownie at the 4 minute mark, I find in my microwave I need to add the extra 1 minute.
- Allow to cool in the baking dish and serve with sifted icing sugar, a scoop of ice cream and mixed berries. Best served warm.
Notes
- You might have to adapt the times for your microwave.
- Each microwave has different heat setttings depending on the wattage.
- I would check the brownie after 4 minutes. If it is cooked, remove it from the microwave and allow to cool on the bench.
- You may only need an extra 30-60 minutes of cooking time.
