GHANA DEMERARA BROWNIES



Ghana Demerara Brownies image

This recipe is adapted from the Omanhene brownie recipe. Omanhene is Ghanaian chocolate so that's where the 'Ghana' comes in. The original recipe uses refined, white sugar - but I replaced that with light brown plus demerara/turbinado sugar - as well as substituting butter for canola oil and whole eggs for just whites. The end result is a brownie with a strong come-on and a very bad attitude. Bake with caution!
