Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees.

INGREDIENTS

• 200g butter, diced
• 100g dark chocolate chopped
• 3 FUTURELIFE® High Protein LITE Chocolate Smart Bars or 2 FUTURELIFE® High Protein Chocolate Smart Bars, chopped into small pieces
• 125g castor sugar
• 125g brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 5ml vanilla essence
• 80ml FUTURELIFE® High Protein Smart Food™
• 80ml Plain flour, sifted
• 5 tbsp. cocoa powder, sifted

METHOD

1. Grease a 20cm shallow square baking tray.
2. Combine butter and chocolate in a large heat proof bowl. Place over a sauce pan with gently simmering hot water, stirring occasionally until combined.  Cool to room temperature.
3. Whisk together eggs and sugar until double in volume and pale. Approximately 5-8 minutes.
4. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture on the egg and sugar mixture.
5. Add vanilla essence, and the chopped FUTURELIFE® Smart Bars, and fold in together. Sift the flour, cocoa and FUTURELIFE® High Protein Smart Food™ on top of this mixture and fold in gently.
6. Pour into the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes. Until just set on top, a knife comes out a little dirty when inserted in the centre of the brownie.
7. Let brownie cool for 1 hour before cutting.

TIP: When you have poured the mixture into the tin use the back of a spoon to submerge the FUTURELIFE® Smart Bar pieces under the dough to prevent the bars from burning.
