Ingredients:
- 3 ripe pears (preferably soft and sweet)
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Optional: 50g dark chocolate (for extra richness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pears:
- Start by peeling and coring the pears. Once prepared, blend the pears until they become a smooth puree. The puree should be free of lumps to ensure a smooth texture in the final brownie.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 3 large eggs and whisk them lightly. Add the pear puree and the 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the eggs, mixing until fully combined. If you’re adding dark chocolate, melt the 50g in a microwave or double boiler and stir it into the batter. This will create a richer, more decadent brownie.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) with the fan (termoobieg) setting. Line a baking dish (approximately 10×18 cm) with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper covers the sides as well. This will make removing the brownie from the dish much easier after baking.
- Bake:
- Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. The brownie should be firm to the touch and set in the center when fully baked.
- Cool Down:
- Once baked, remove the brownie from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the dish. For the best flavor and texture, it’s recommended to refrigerate the brownie overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- After chilling, slice the brownie into portions and serve. The brownie is delicious on its own, but you can also top it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
Enjoy this healthy and delicious Pear Brownie—perfect for any time of day, from breakfast to dessert!
