Butter 8x8 glass baking dish. Bake 350 for 25 - 30 minutes. Be careful not to burn your fingers or your mouth when eating the first hot one out of the oven. Try not to eat more that 4 per day. If you plan to share these, you might want to double the recipe and use a 9 x 13 baking dish. They are a great source of healthy fat and protein, and contain no starch. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/close-to-a-good-brownie-recipe#post-36 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:15:20 +0000 katchmoleen 36@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I don't bake much, so anyone feel free to try and tweek this recipe. I started out with an SCD recipe for peanut butter brownies. The texture was right on for brownies, but the peanut butter taste totally overpowered the cocoa that I added to the original recipe. Tonight I made it with <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=215045&amp;u=412167&amp;m=25930&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=" title="buy gluten free blanched almond flour online" rel="nofollow">almond flour</a> instead, but didn't care as much for the texture. The taste was quite good! When I make them again, I think I will throw all the ingredients into the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018QOG6O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=elanaspantryc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0018QOG6O" rel="nofollow">vitamix</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=elanaspantryc-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0018QOG6O" alt="" /> (or other high speed blender) and see if I can smooth it out. Just starting with almond butter would be the smartest thing, but it is too expensive for my budget.<br /> Keep in mind that amounts are rather approximate...I am a "dump cook." Also, I have six kids so made a big pan. The recipe can easily be halved.</p> <blockquote><p> Preheat oven to 325 and grease a 9x13 pan.</p> <p>4 cups almond flour<br /> 1/2 cup cocoa powder or amount desired for chocolate flavor<br /> 4 eggs<br /> 1 cup agave or honey<br /> 1 teaspoon baking soda<br /> About 1/2 cup of water, enough to make a manageable batter but not too thin.</p> </blockquote> <p>I mixed this in a bowl but next time I will put it in the vitamix to make a smoother product. Added about 1 cup of Sunspire chocolate chips (if you are really sensitive to gluten you may not be able to tolerate this brand but we do fine with it).</p> <p>Put in the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes; do not overbake.</p> <p>See if you can make it better. We love brownies! </p>
