Chocolate - Raspberry Brownies
Baking tips: For me timing makes the most challenging thing in this recipe. How long should these chocolate brownies be baked, I wondered after several attempts. They turned out dry a few times as I was obviously baking them for too long. I therefore strongly advise testing them with a toothpick 5 minutes before the end of an advised baking time, no matter which recipe you're using. If the toothpick comes out with some batter and small crumbles then brownies are baked. You see, you can easily be tempted to bake a bit longer and then they will simply turn out over-baked.

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 130 grams unsalted butter at room temperature
- 150 grams caster sugar
- 175 grams self-raising flour
- 60 grams cocoa
- 90 grams organic raspberries (for puree)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams plain probiotic yogurt
- 120 grams organic raspberries (whole)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 170C fan/190C/375F/gas mark 5. Brush a 10-inch cake pan (25cm) with oil and line the base with baking paper.
Step 2
Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream until pale and fluffy.
Step 3
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Step 4
Add 2 whole eggs and 1 egg yolk from the remaining large egg. Save the egg white from this egg.
Step 5
Gently mix together all the ingredients added so far (butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs).
Step 6
Puree 90 grams of raspberries.
Step 7
Add the raspberry puree and 150 grams of plain yogurt to the egg and sugar mixture and mix together.
Step 8
Sift together 175 grams of self-raising flour and 60 grams of cocoa and add it to the raspberry-egg mixture. Stir well.
Step 9
Whisk the saved egg white and gently stir it into the mixture.
Step 10
At the end, add 120 grams of whole raspberries and gently fold them into the mixture.
Step 11
Spoon the chocolate brownies mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. Start testing with a toothpick 5 minutes before the end of baking time. If the toothpick comes out with small amounts of sticky batter and small crumbles, then the chocolate brownies are baked. If the toothpick comes out clean, they are probably over-baked.
Step 12
Cool the baked brownies for 5-10 minutes, then turn them out on a wire rack and remove the baking paper.
Step 13
Cut them into squares and serve with your favorite cup of coffee. Store these yummy chocolate brownies in an airtight container.
