Cut a rectangle of baking paper and fit it to all sides of the baking tin. Grease the tin and line it with the baking paper.

Measure and pour the into a large mixing bowl. Mix together either by hand or with a hand-held electric mixer until the batter is evenly blended.

Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared tin and use a plastic spatula to evenly spread the mixture to the corners of the tin. Smooth out the top of the batter with the back of the spatula.

Step 8

Once ready. Take the brownies out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes.

Then, cut the brownies into 24 squares and your delicious gooey brownies are ready to serve.
