- 55 g unsalted butter

Brownies are a popular dessert whose main ingredient is chocolate. But brownies can be made in other ways too, and one of the recipes is one without chocolate. Making brownies without chocolate may sound like a bit of an unusual decision, but it can be influenced by many factors such as health or other restrictions. One popular chocolate-free version is ''blondies''.
These are desserts that look like brownies but are made with ingredients such as butter, brown sugar, flour, vanilla and eggs. They can also be customised with different additions such as nuts, dried fruit or with BAM spreads or refreshing BAM toppings.
If the predominant vanilla flavour does not suit you, you can also use cocoa powder. Although chocolate is made from cocoa, it does not contain chocolate particles and does not have the classic chocolate taste.
What about sugar? This can also be substituted. In recipes, sugar can be replaced by other types of sweeteners and flavourings. Maple syrup or honey can be used in some recipes, with cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavour.
Use cocoa powder. If you want to achieve a chocolate flavour and do not want to use real chocolate, use cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is made from chocolate but does not contain cocoa butter, the ingredient that gives chocolate its creamy texture. In the recipe, replace the chocolate with cocoa powder and adjust the other ingredients as necessary.
Add other flavours. Other flavours besides chocolate work well in brownies. You can add chopped nuts, dried fruit or spices such as cinnamon or cardamom to the batter to give them a unique flavour.
Take care not to over-bake the dough. As the recipe does not include chocolate to indicate when the brownies are baked, baking can be a little more difficult than with regular chocolate brownies. Follow the recipe carefully and observe the baking time strictly. More tricks and tips on how to make perfect brownies here.You can also be impressed by the different flavours of brownies.
