A super recipe, and a perfect fit for a 1l jar as a gift. Recipe didn't state which white sugar, but I used caster, and they worked perfectly. Brownies are very moreish! Only criticism would be they aren't gooey brownies.

This took quite a lot longer to bake than the recipe said, but I made it with gluten-free flour so don't know whether that made a difference. Next time I will use a slightly bigger tin so it's not so deep, as that will hopefully allow it to cook more evenly. Tastes lovely, but because I had to cook it for longer it's a bit crispy round the outside and not quite cooked in the middle.

It's both plain flours you layer them separately in the jar. If you're just baking the brownies for yourself just add the total of 170g flour.

Hello, how long would you suggest giving as a use by date? Thank you!

All the ingredients that go in the jar have a fairly long shelf life. If you want to include a use-by date, we'd suggest checking the dates on your ingredients and opt for the shortest one for the whole thing.

Hi there, noticed recipe states 75g plain flour then 95g plain flour. Is the flour amount just seperated to make the layers?
Rachel Ivy
11th May, 2016
Yes. The total is 170g flour. You put it in two layers in the jar, which is why it's listed in the ingredients separately as 95g and 75g, as one layer is nearer the top and the other nearer the bottom of the jar.

What type of brown sugar should I use?? I've got light brown soft, dark brown soft, muscavado's.... Help! They're for presents I want them to be perfect! Thanks in advance

I think any would be fine. You wouldn't always put brown sugar in a brownie recipe, so here it's mainly to create the layers in the jar.

what sort of chocolate chips did everyone use for this? or did people just chop up a block of chocolate?

This will take more time to bake but the results are as good if not better than any coffee shop brownie
