As the weather turns decidedly cooler, it’s natural for our palates to hunger for comfort food and they don’t get much more comforting than this week’s recipe, perfectly gooey and devilishly delicious chocolate brownies. Sure to be popular with both children and adults, as well as being a delicious dessert, the recipe includes Kefir, a natural probiotic which is great for gut health.
We’d love to see how you get on, so send in pics of your efforts to info@melanmag.com and we’ll feature on our social media.
