members' commentscookie - I made these on Saturday afternoon. They were very nice Judy, even more so because they have the tick.
Unfortunately my raspberries all sank to the bottom. It's like a layer of them on the bottom. This hasn't affected the taste though.
Caroline J - The brownies were divine. Send the rest to work with DH this morning so us girls at home don't eat them all!
Denzelmum - Made this morning, didn't read properly and used natural yogurt. But happy with the result, not too sweet. All gone in quickly at church lunch. Thanks, JD.
Agelfling - Made these today for dessert with friends we had over for dinner - they were a huge hit! Even let DS have his first lick chocolate off the butterfly as a special treat, much to his delight.
Aussie Brenda - JD these are just Divine, I've just finished my second slice. I took some over to the neighbours, got the thumbs up there. I did have to cook them another 15 mins, also added Pecans, walnuts and some choc. bits. Seriously yummy.
NICKY74 - just found this recipe, it's really late but I just had to cook it right now! anyway, its just come out of the oven, I hope it is ok, because I fear my quantities maybe a bit out! I put in 3 eggs as they were very small, too much apple puree (total accident) and only had 40g cocoa instead of 65g as that was all I had! so, cant wait for them too cool so I can taste, oh also I had mundella honey yoghurt so used that, think it should make for a nice flavour (they smell good!).
ok, the verdict: this was a bit 'puddingy' maybe because I put in too much apple puree! I have only tasted it still warm from the oven, so maybe it will firm up a bit by tomorrow. Still tastes good and I will make it again but follow the recipe more thoroughly next time!
ok, this now tastes really yummy when I put chocolate icing on, and warm it slightly, (defeats the object of the healthy recipe)
think next time I will just use a normal choc brownie recipe and add raspberries because I do love this combination.
