The key to a boys heart

They say the key to a boys heart is through food...
But unless the boy you're trying to woo is vegan then this statement is completely void.
It doesn't matter how great you think your Seitan Roast is, he's probably going to be more impressed by a beef burger.
And since I've meet no vegans in Edinburgh to woo, I've found the key to my own heart (awww).
I found this recipe on PPK, it was advertised on valentines, so I decided in the name of single-dom to wait until a week later to make it.
It's easy, quick and doesn't require a million strange ingredients that only baking obsessed people, such as my self, keep in their cupboard.
Here's the recipe from PPK

Chocolate Truffle Brownies

4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup raspberry fruit spread
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup frozen raspberries

Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Line an 8 inch pan with parchment paper and lightly mist with non-stick cooking spray.

Melt the chocolate in either a double boiler or the microwave. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, vigorously mix together the jam, sweetener, and apple sauce. Stir in the extracts and the melted chocolate.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix very well until a stiff dough forms. Fold in the raspberries. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. It will be very thick, you’ll probably need to use your hands to evenly spread the batter.

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, they should still be soft and gooey. If a tester toothpick comes out clean, they’re overbaked. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
