Best-ever chocolate raspberry brownies

This is how to make delicious rich chocolate brownies!  Makes 15.   EASY
 Ingredients:
:

200g dark chocolate broken into chunks
100g milk chocolate broken into chunks
250g butter or margerine
400g soft light brown sugar
4 large eggs
140g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
200g raspberries


1. First heat the oven to 180C, 160C fan or gas 4. Then line the base of  a 20 x 30cm baking tray tin with baking paper. Put the chocolate, butter and sugar in a pan and gently melt, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. When melted, remove from the heat.

2.  Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a bowl and stir in the eggs, one by one. Sieve in the flour and cocoa, and stir in. Then stir in half the raspberries then scrape into the tray and scatter over the remaining raspberries. Bake on the middle shelf for 30 minutes or, if you prefer a firmer texture, for 5 minutes more. Cool before slicing into squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

(Again I used gluten free flour and works and tastes perfect)

Cherry oat squares with chocolate drizzle

Hi! Here is the method for how to make some delicious cherry oat squares:           EASY

Makes 16.                                                                                     Ingredients:
140g butter or margarine, melted
 100g self raising flower (or 100g plain flower with 1tsp baking-powder
175g porridge oats
175g caster sugar
1 egg
100g glace cherries, halved
50g dark chocolate


1. Heat the oven to 180C, 160C fan or gas 4. Then butter and line the base (and sides if you want, but i didn't) of a 22cm square cake tin.This will make lifting it out easier.

2. Then simply mix together the flour, auger and oats in a bowl.  Then add the egg, melted butter and cherries and mix well. Next tip the thick mixture into the tin and spread evenly with a fork.

3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. After cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully lift out using the paper and two spatulars for extra help! Then draw 4 lines each way to make 16 squares. Finally melt the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute then, using a teaspoon, drizzle over the squares. When the chocolate has set, cut the squares down the marked lines. Done!

(I used gluten free flour instead of plain flour because my mum can't eat gluten and it tastes brilliant and works fine.)
