If you’ve mastered banana bread, it’s time to step your baking up a notch.

But with fears of a third Covid-19 wave on the way, you may be feeling nervous about nipping to the shops for anything less than totally essential.

Metro.co.uk has got you covered with this simple brownie recipe that only requires five ingredients you’ll likely already have at home.

They don’t contain flour, so be warned – these are ridiculously gooey.

How to make five-ingredient brownies

Ingredients:

  • 280g chocolate (dark is best for a rich brownie)
  • 55g butter
  • 150g sugar
  • Three eggs
  • 20g cocoa powder

Method:

  1. Preheat your own to 180C and grease and line a baking tin.
  2. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Boil about an inch of water in a pan and place the bowl on top, stiring so the heat from the water melts the contents. Add the sugar to the bowl, remove from the heat and seat aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and then add in cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Beat on a low speed until combined.
  4. Add the chocolate and butter mixture to the eggs and beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

5. Pour the mixture into the baking tray, spread it into the corners and tap the pan to remove air bubbles.

6. Bake for 22-25 minutes. The mixture will be soft when it is removed from the oven but will become harder as it cools.

7. Allow it to cool completely before you serve (if you can wait that long!)
