• 150g golden granulated sugar
• 100g dark brown soft sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 60g cocoa powder
• 100g self-raising flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
• 100g chopped walnuts (optional)

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C, (165 degrees C fan assisted), 350 degrees F, gas mark 4. Prepare a 20 x 25cm baking tin by greasing and lining with greaseproof paper

• Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat well together

• Put mixture into prepared tin and bake for 25 - 30 minutes, depending on how chewy you like your brownies

• Let the brownies cool in the tin (unless you want to eat them warm), then turn out.

• You can serve them as they are, or with a little sprinkle of sieved icing sugar, or you can sprinkle on chocolate chips while still hot and they melt on to the surface.
