Whip up these delicious, gooey brownies on Mother’s Day…and make everyone smile. Adulterated from Bill Granger at smh.

You need for 16 fashionista, 32 models or for one big mama :

60g ( 1/2 cup) cocoa powder
¾ cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
50g (1/³ cup) firmly packed brown sugar
110g (²/³ cup) chopped dried dates
90g unsalted butter, melted
80ml (1/³ cup) low-fat milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

• Slip into your Celine loose wide pants and Alexander Wang sweat top.
• Climb out of Givenchy ankle boots and into Burberry flats.
• I insist a little drink while you cook this: I suggest a glass of champers is lovely with chocolate.
• Preheat oven to 160C.
• lightly moisterise and then line the base of a 20cm square baking tin.
• chop the dates as small as the Bulgari ring.
• Sift the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder together into a chic, large mixing bowl.
• Add the brown sugar and dates and stir to combine.
• In another bowl whisk together the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla.
• Gulp down another glass of champers.
• Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Taste to check this is delicious.
• Pour the mixture into the baking tray.
• Lick the bowl: No calories.  Summer on the beach at St Tropez is months away.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Don’t overcook you want as gooey as a romantic comedy.
• Let cool a little before cutting into squares the size of an Hermes cuff.
• Accessorise with icing sugar or smoothe on lashings of nutella as icing!
• So delicious! So healthy ( cough, cough).
