mulberry brownies

 I ran across this "Turkish" recipe for mulberry brownies.  While I know that mulberries are eaten there, I'm skeptical about the brownies part of that, but oh well.

It's likely quite good as is, but I wanted to use up some mulberry jam that's in my freezer.*

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • sugar (I put in about 1/3 cup of brown sugar because that's what I grabbed I was using jam which has sugar)
  • 100 grams butter (about a stick)
  • 80 grams chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 3 T cocoa
  • salt
  • 1 cup frozen mulberries (or other fruit, or jam)

Instructions

I used a food processor so put things in one by one.  It would be fine by hand, too, I'm sure.

  • Grease the pan.  A 9x13 pan is probably preferable but I used a 9x9 to fit in toaster oven. 
  • Cream together eggs and sugar.
  • Heat  together the butter and chocolate just until melted.  Once cool, add to eggs/sugar and mix.
  • Add yogurt, mix.
  • Whisk together in a small bowl the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa.  Then add and mix.
  • Add the fruit and mix
  • Bake at 350 degrees until done (about 35 minutes for me). 

 They were ... ok. 

*When I canned it, for some reason it siphoned out of most of the jars.  So I put them in the freezer and need to use them up before hurricane season.  Hence, this recipe. Plus, I can put the small pan in the toaster oven and don't have to heat the regular oven which is a lot of electricity and heat for summer.
