D.I.Y Brownie Mix

I'm trying to reduce canned products as much as possible due to the BPA effects to our body, so I opt for products in glass jars/bottles instead. Besides, there are so many things that I can do with the jars and bottles instead of sending them to the recycling center. You can check out this Pinterest board for cool ideas of reusing your glass materials.

There is this satisfying  feeling when I do something, and giving it to someone. As for that, I made my own brownie mix in a glass bottle for my dad's in law birthday. I used the recipe from GoodFood with a slight modification, and used a 1 liter glass bottle for that.

In the bottle
1/2 tsp salt
50 g plain flour
70 g cocoa powder
50 g plain flour
100 g dark brown sugar
100 g caster sugar
100 g dark chocolate break into small pieces (I used 86% Cote D'or)

Plus:
150 g melted butter
3 beaten eggs

Method:

1. Layer the dry ingredients in a one liter bottle, based on the recipe above. Press each layer down before adding the next.

2. If you want to give to someone, include a card with the following instructions: Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Combine the mixture with melted butter and eggs and mix. Pour into a lined 9' x 9' pan and bake at 180 C for 20 - 35 minutes or until the surface becomes dry.
