Brownies (Gluten & Dairy FREE!)

dendra7

Brownies (gluten free)

2 cups Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup Palm sugar (or other sugars...)
1, 15 oz. can of black beans (strain out the juices)
3 whole eggs
1 tspn. Vanilla


Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium to medium high heat.
Run black beans through a food processor until all are grainy consistency ( or a bit pasty)
Spray inside of a square or rectangle baking pan with coconut oil spray.

Whisk (i used a fork) together all of the ingredients. Make sure you don't have any whole beans in there (they freak people out!) Bake 25-30 minutes.

Serve with coconut ice cream, top with fruit or nuts...yum yum yum!!

I'm a dork - these are gluten free- (as long as Hershey's isn't lying) but after a bit of digging...well....they are not (sniff) dairy free)..... Ingredients: Sugar, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali) Milk Fat, Lactose (Milk), Soy Lecithin, PGPR (Emulsifier), Vanillin, Artificial Flavor.

Perhaps a better label would have been Brownie Alternative! LOL

Still High in Fiber & Protein....Enjoy!!! Happy Valentine's Day Everyone.

Fabulous Fudgy Brownies

1/2 tbsp. ground flax seed
1-1/2 tbsp. hot water
3/4 cup lite silken tofu (firm), crumbled
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup unbleached white flour or cake flour
1 cup unbleached cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional–depending on how nutty you like your brownies)

Mix the ground flax seeds with 1- 1/2 tablespoons of hot water and set aside. (Mixture will thicken slightly.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mist an 8-inch x 8-inch x 2-inch glass baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.

Blend the tofu, water, maple syrup, cocoa powder, flax mixture, and vanilla extract until completely smooth. (I use a hand-blender, but you can do this in a regular blender.)

Place the remaining ingredients, except the walnuts, in a medium mixing bowl and stir them together until they are well combined. Pour the blended mixture into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl, and stir them until they are well combined. Fold in the walnuts, if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Completely cool the brownies in the pan. Cut and serve.

These are fudgy, not cake-like, brownies, and they’re actually better the second day…if you can make them last two days! This is really as fudgy as it gets without added oils or chocolate chips, so you can indulge your sweet tooth without worry.

Sounds great given it is difficult to find things that are both gluten-free and dairy-free. To complicate matters further, any suggestions on replacing the beans as I am not supposed to eat them either.

Thanks for the recipe.

:-)

Updated with the new awesome dairy, soy, nut, & gluten free mini-chocolate chips I found today!!! Hurrah.

I hear you can substitute nut flours in those recipes but I haven't experimented enough to tell you how to get the beans out too!

Brownies (gluten free)

2 cups Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips

I made something similar just last night. Instead of the chocolate chips, I used 1/2 cup cocoa powder (Hershey's Special Dark) and a banana, and used agave nectar as the sweetner, plus a half teaspoon of baking powder. All the ingredients were blended. It was an experiment since I wasn't going off any set recipe. Next time, I'm going to up the baking powder a full teaspoon, and add an extra banana. Moisture and texture was still good but I needed a little more sweetner or cut back a bit on the cocoa powder. Couldn't tell that I used black beans. Anyway, that cuts out the dairy. Next time, I might try using some stevia extract I have as sweetner over the agave to cut down the calories and sugar. (My son liked the look and texture, and ate it half way unitl he realized it wasn't sweet enough for him.)
