Hi guys!

I really want to try out Jillian Michael's brownie recipe, but being in the UK we don't use cups as measurement, so I was hoping someone could help me convert the below recipes into either grams or ounces?

2/3 C honey
1/3 C unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 C whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 C unsweetened, natural applesauce
2 Tbs olive oil
1 large egg
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Thank youuuu! :)

    Hi,
    You can buy a "cup" in the UK in any baking shop.
    It's also a measure on a lot of jugs,it might be worth buying one as a lot of the recipes on here use cups as a measure.
    If you don't have access to a baking shop check Amazon UK

    If only we had some sort of database that allowed you to search for information on the internet!

    All you have to do is type in your web browser: what is one cup in grams or whatever... I do this all of the time it is not big deal.

    I'd use any 250 ml cup. 1 US cup equals 237 ml,so it's pretty close.

    Thanks guys :)

    I tried googling the conversion myself but I got so many different results I didn't know which was closest. Think I'll try the recipe using the conversion posted by NIkhan.

    I'll let you know how they come out!

    ^^ very true, I have looked and found that they come out so varied because the american ounce is different to the english ounce and because I think some are just plain made up.

  • Hi, I got baking cups out of Asda for less than £2 - i use these when making American recipes, as it is must easier than weighing everything out.

    I think Tesoc do them as well :smile:

    I have no life so I did this, they should be pretty accurate - also a teaspoon and tablespoon are pretty generic so I wouldn't worry about converting them to grams or ml as it's just a pain and a bit silly lol

    227g - Honey
    39g - Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
    65g - Whole Wheat Flour
    1g - Baking Powder
    1g - Baking Soda
    Pinch of Salt
    120ml - Unsweetened, natural applesauce
    43g - Olive Oil
    1 Large Egg
    3.5ml - Pure Vanilla Extract

    The difference is fluid ounces versus weight ounces, not American and British.

    this might help if someone wants to make them and doesn't have access to google :wink:

    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch square pan with olive oil. Set aside.
    Place the honey in a large glass measuring cup. Microwave on high power until the honey is runny and just bubbling, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the cocoa and stir with a fork until well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
    In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, egg, and vanilla. Whisk together until well blended. Add the honey-cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and stir until no traces of flour remain. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
    Bake until the surface looks dry around the edges of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, about 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Place the pan on a cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing into 16 squares. (Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
    Makes 16 (2-inch) brownies

    volume to mass conversions only work if you know the density of the material with which you are working.
