Gluten Free Dark Chocolate and reese's peanut butter brownies
If you love dark chocolate you would love these. Well if you love dark chocolate and Reese's peanut butter. If you want the full article or any other GF articles please visit my blog http://wherecanireturnthis.blogspot.com/ Feel free to leave links to your own blogs as well. ok I did the 9x9 pan and that means the list calls for 3 eggs 3/4 cup of oil 1/2 cup of water Now there are a few excellent books that will tell you what ingredients you can use in place of others Cooking Free by Carol Fenster, PH.D. and The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Dietby Pamela Compart, M.D. and Dana Laake R.D.H., M.S., L.D. are the ones I have been using and they have been very helpful. Now here is what I decided to use: 1/2 cup of flax seed oil 1 1/2 cups of applesauce 1/2 cup of chocolate silk I thought the batter looked a little dry so I added more chocolate silk and would stir just by eyeballing it I do not think I added a full 1/4 of a cup. For the Reese's Peanut butter part I use JIF (I am sure that any brand will due you will need more or less salt or sugar) I used 1 1/2 cups of JIF (just pick out how p-nut buttery you want it to be add more or less) 1/4 cup of sugar to that a pinch of salt Stir until that is completely blended (you know this because while it is still grainy it is now a little runny at least for p-nut butter. This is where the testing begins. You will add salt and sugar stir then taste and repeat until you either have the perfect Reese's flavor or almost there. If it is almost there and you keep playing with it you will ruin it. I am speaking from experience. I am sorry I do not have the exact recipe for you but I was taught how to make this in middle school and the teacher taught us to eyeball all of it. When I added the peanut butter I marbled it in the batter but dropping or any design would work just as well. Now my reasoning for what I used. Flaxseed oil- Ok yes this is VERY expensive but it is also pack the most bang for your buck health wise. I tried EVOO last time and it was just to oily so since I was cutting how much oil I was going to use I went with the good stuff. Applesauce- It can be used in the place of eggs if they are needed as a binder or as a moisturizer. Chocolate silk- I wanted to make sure that it still had flavor and I was worried that adding all that applesauce was going to take away from it some. Ingredients
