Assam Prune Brownies Recipes

SAMOA® CRUNCH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Measure 1/3 of the oat mixture into a separate bowl; stir in chopped cookies. Reserve for the topping. Press the remaining oat mixture into the baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter and 1/2 of the dark chocolate in a heavy 1 1/2-quart saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
• Stir brown sugar and vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is glossy and smooth.
• Whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together. Stir into the chocolate mixture. Stir in remaining dark chocolate. Spread brownie batter over the baked oat base. Sprinkle with reserved topping.
• Bake until the center is set and the topping has turned golden brown, 25 to 28 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

ASSAM PRUNE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Strong brew the Pick Me Up At 3 Assam Tea and let this brew in a bowl along with the chopped prunes for at least 2 hours.
• Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until smooth and glossy. In a separate mixing bowl beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until creamy. Then fold the chocolate and butter mixture through.
• Sift the flour and cocoa into the liquid mixture, stir together and then fold in the chopped milk chocolate and drained prunes.
• Pour into a lined baking tray and bake for 35-40 minutes at 180C or until set but still squidgy in the middle.
• Cool on a wire rack then cut into pieces, about 18, and dust with icing sugar or cocoa powder to finish.
