Chocolate Brownies

Today is a wonderful day, its baking chocolate Brownie day. Warning Low Fodmappers do not eat the whole tray one or two counts as a low Fodmap serving of chocolate.

These are deliciously yummy with afternoon tea (its how we ate ours) but will work just as fantastic served with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. An exciting FODMAP fact is that whipped cream like chocolate is absolutely fine in small amounts, so you can have 1/2 a cup with your brownies…. fill your boots
