Recipe Introduction
original recipe from The Prepared Pantry
modified to GFCF by BL Olson
List of Ingredients
3 ounces unsweetened cf chocolate (I used a dark chocolate bar from
Barry Callebaut)
1/2 cup coconut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2/3 cup Better Batter GF Blend (or use the recipe for a mock Better
Batter in the archives)
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili pepper or paprika
1 cup semi-sweet cf chocolate chips (like Barry Callebaut or ELFoods)Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan.
1. Cut the chocolate into pieces. Melt the coconut butter in the
microwave or a double boiler. Add the chocolate. Let it sit for a
minute and then stir. If the chocolate is not completely melted and
mixture smooth, return it to the microwave or double boiler and heat
until melted and smooth. Stir in the sugar and salt.
2. In a cup or small bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the eggs and
vanilla to the chocolate mixture. Stir until combined.
3. Add the flour and cinnamon. Stir until combined again. Fold in the
chocolate chips.
4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes
or until the brownies test done by sticking a toothpick or knife into
the center of the pan. The brownies will be done when moist crumbs
cling to the toothpick or knife. Let cool completely before cutting.
Baker’s note: If you are in a hurry to get to your brownies—and who
isn’t—stick the pan of brownies in the refrigerator to cool, but be
aware that putting a hot pan into the fridge raises the temperature of
your whole fridge and puts some of your foods at risk.
Variations
Chocolate Chip Brownies. You can always leave the cinnamon and chili
out. They are still good brownies but thespices does give them some
nice zip.
Walnut Brownies. These brownies are designed for chocolate lovers. If
you want to tone down the chocolate, replace some or all of the
chocolate chips with walnuts, pecans or other crushed nuts.
Coconut Brownies. Replace the chocolate chips with sweetened coconut
strings, or if serving young children use the dessicated kind. You
can also add 1 extra tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of coconut extract to
"pump it up"!
