Lazy Girls Club - Baking Brownies

Hello there,

Im not a professional at cooking food nor baking for that matter although i do take food tech for GCSE but I don't think that counts as being a master chef. So i researched and gathered some easy and simple recipes aren't overpowered in calories and shall be doing posts on them for the next couple of series.

But before i start, i should let you know i have been very ill this week and couldn't gather all the ingredients so i took the lazy way out and bought a simple packet   so its your choice whether you want to do it my way or the hard way.

I represent to you - Brownies

You will need two things - a chocolate brownies mix (preferably Sainsburys) and a packet of Oreos to start off with. Then you will need an egg, water and oil. Do you think you can manage all them ingredients?

To start of with, follow the simple instructions on the packet; mix the mixture with an egg and gradually add water etc until you get a lumpy texture.

After you have do those things, you then need to grease the tin of some sort with butter so the brownie mixture is able to come out. As you can tell I'm a master at greasing tins.

Here comes the tricky part so make sure you are paying attention, you will need to create a small but thick layer of brownie mixture at the bottom of the tin. 

Now, the oreos. Grab your packet, open them and start laying them out one by one making sure they are spacing in between for each brownie otherwise it will hard to cut and you'll have one huge mess and you'll only get one good brownie with an Oreo in it.

You will then need to cover up the oreos with the remaining mixture in the bowl. It's okay if you do not have enough mixture to cover as the brownies will always rise in the oven.

Time to stick those brownies in the oven. Leave them to bake for a good 25 minutes until they look ready and are ready, you will need to leave them to cool for 10 minutes before you start cutting them and eating them.

Once they have cooled and ready, slice yourself a piece and enjoy, la brownie de oreos

By now, most of you are probably wondering how on earth has this for anything to do with losing weight?

It hasn't really if I'm honest, it's just an extremely good way of watching your calories when snacking, we all enjoy a chocolate time to time, yes? So instead of just going out a buying it from the shop where there is a lot more calories, why not make it yourself at home ay? It's easy enough and you get a treat.

Each brownie slice you have just made or are going to make is - 293 calories which in comparison to shop bought brownies is 407 less and to me that's win, win situation.

I hope you all enjoy brownie making and enjoy eating them because they are extremely delicious.

Goodbye for now,

p.s spice things up abit and try using other biscuits instead of oreos, e.g digestives.
