Ingredients

  • 90 g gluten free plain flour
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 200 g butter
  • 200 g dairy free dark chocolate dark chocolate is important it doesn't make them taste dark!
  • 3 eggs
  • 280 g caster sugar
  • 2 tsp orange extract
  • 240 g Terry's Chocolate Orange Mini Eggs in the UK these eggs are gluten free!

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C. Prepare a 9 inch square tin with baking paper. Have excess paper around the edges so that you can easily lift the brownies out later.
  • Melt together your butter and dark chocolate over a bain marie until completely melted. Or melt them together in the microwave - do this gently, ensuring you pause the microwave and mix regularly to avoid burning. Leave out to cool down to nearer room temp for 15-20 minutes at least.
  • Sieve together your cocoa powder and gluten free flour in a bowl. Mix briefly until combined, put to one side. This stops is getting lumpy and is so worth doing!
  • In another mixing bowl, crack 3 eggs and pour in your caster sugar. Beat together (I use an electric hand whisk) until pale in colour and almost a little frothy, it should have doubled in size.
  • Once the chocolate and butter mixture is cooled a little, pour it into your egg/sugar mixture. Fold it in, it will initially marble and then turn super chocolatey. At this point also add your orange extract and fold it in too.
  • Next fold in the your gluten free plain flour and cocoa powder mix. Ensure it's fully folded in - I do this using a spatula.
  • Fold in your chocolate orange eggs - I crush most of these in a zip-lock bag with a rolling pin and then keep others whole before folding them in. Leave a handful of the eggs to one side to push into the top!
  • Pour/spoon your brownie mixture into a prepared tin, smooth it over so it's even and level. Press in your chocolate orange eggs that you didn't fold in, into the top.
  • Bake for about 30 mins. Cooking for this amount of time at this temp should create incredible fudgy brownies. If they need a little longer give them an extra 5 minutes (all ovens are different) A skewer poked in won't necessarily come out 100% clean but it shouldn't be really covered with completely wet batter either.
  • Allow to cool in the tin completely for a couple of hours minimum before cutting.
  • Lift out of the tin and cut into squares. Enjoy!
