These easy-to-make brownies are rich, chocolatey, fudgey and Moorish, yet refined sugar free and so easy to make. Just put everything in a bowl and combine! I can vouch that they are delicious straight from the fridge, but also yum popped in the microwave for 30 seconds with a dollop of crème fraiche.

METHOD
- 1. Preheat oven to 160C.
