How to Make Christmas Brownies
- Prepare a 22 x 30 cm square baking pan: grease and flour or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
- Melt 200g dark chocolate and 175g unsalted butter in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 200g caster sugar until light, fluffy, and pale in color. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture, gently folding until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 150g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, and ¼ tsp ground nutmeg. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 100g chopped almonds and 100g dark chocolate chips. Fold until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (don't overbake!).
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting and slicing. For an extra special touch, frost with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
