Lucy’s Yummy Orange Chocolate Brownies

METHOD

• 1

  Melt the butter, sugar and 200 g of Cadbury Bournville Orange in a pan until smooth. Don’t forget to sample the chocolate! (You know... just in case!)

• 2

  Mash up the bananas in a bowl (they should look like a gloopy goo).

• 3

  Add the chocolate/sugar/butter mix to the bowl with the bananas and whisk well with an electric whisk.

• 4

  Add in the flour and cocoa powder bit-by-bit

• 5

  Mix in the bicarbonate of soda and the apple cider vinegar.

• 6

  Add orange essence to taste.

• 7

  Roughly chop the remaining bar of Cadbury Bournville Orange and mix it in!

• 8

  Line a baking dish – either with a good coating of vegan butter and a dusting of cocoa powder or with greaseproof paper!

• 9

  Pour the mixture into the baking dish and cook on the middle shelf at around 180 °C/Gas Mark 4. Cook for around 30–40 minutes, this will depend on your oven. To test if it is ready, stick a skewer in 1 inch from the edge, if it comes out clean it’s ready!

• 10

  For best results leave until cooled before taking it out of the dish – cut into squares and serve with vegan vanilla ice cream or cream!

  If you want a change of flavour use regular Bournville and add a splash of coffee to the mix!
