  1. What is wholemeal self rising flour? I've never heard of it

  1. This was moist but more cake than brownie. I loved the coffee but used normal flour. They were greatly enjoyed and cut and kept well.
     
  2. These are pretty good for being low-fat and low sugar. Very moist, but I think next time I will use all-purpose flour rather than wholemeal (which I assume is the same as whole wheat?) Didn't care for the texture of the whole wheat. I liked the coffee flavor and may increase the amount next time. I skipped the "dusting" step because I used these as a base for some no sugar added/low-fat ice cream. Thank you, btw, for the cup measurements in parentheses :)
     
  3. I too would reduce the coffee in this... but the Scout leaders for whom this was a gift are true Dutch and love their coffee, so know your recipients LOL. I took the photo at home so didn't dust it with icing sugar/coffee until after I had transported it (and then realised I'd forgotten to bring the camera for the extra photo). Chocolate chips are very hard to find here so I blitzed some dark chocolate in the food processor into pieces and it went well. Please see my Rating System: 4 excellent stars for an easy to make recipe that will disappear fast. Thanks!
     
  4. Loved It!! DH gave it one star, but what does he know? :) This is a terrific replacement for the 'real thing'. I was a little worried when I took it out of the pan, because I didn't expect it to be that thin. However, the flavour and texture is wonderful. The only thing different I did was to add some sliced almonds, and use milk chocolate chips. I'll make this again for sure. Thanks Chef Potts! It's a keeper.
     
  5. Okay...I have to admit, I did make a few changes/subtitutions. I doubled the recipe and used Egg Beaters, Splenda brown sugar, and Ideal powdered sugar substitute. I also added some chopped pecans that I wanted to use up. Instead of mixing the chocolate chips into the batter, I sprinkled mini semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the batter. I baked it in a 9 x 13 pan, let it cool, cut into squares and sprinkled the Ideal powdered sugar substitute on top. Took a platter to work and had six pieces to keep for me. The brownies were moist, cakey and yummy. They were gone in no time and no one could believe that they were pratically sugar free. Made for Aus/NZ Tag Game.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
