Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As if squidgy chocolate brownie isn’t enough, we’ve sprinkled milk chocolate chunks, crumbled biscuits and raspberry pieces on top before baking them to perfection,” say Kate and Kay Allinson from Pinch of Nom.
“Psst.. You want to take these out of the oven while they’re ever so slightly undercooked and let them cool briefly in the tin!”
Raspberry cookie brownies
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
Low-calorie cooking spray
100g self-raising flour
50g reduced-fat spread
4 tbsp white granulated sweetener
4 medium eggs
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
6 raspberries, sliced in half
20g bag of mini chocolate sandwich biscuits, quartered
20g milk chocolate, finely chopped
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 190C (fan 170C/gas mark 5). Spray the 12 holes of the silicone muffin tin with a little low calorie cooking spray.
2. Place the self-raising flour, reduced-fat spread, granulated sweetener, eggs, cocoa powder and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. It’s best to use a wooden spoon to prevent over-mixing.
3. Pour the mixture into the silicone muffin tin, dividing it evenly between the twelve holes. Add half a raspberry to the top of each brownie. Sprinkle over the biscuit and chocolate pieces. Place in the oven and bake for eight to 10 minutes until slightly risen and set.
4. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve.
