Well, things are looking a little better. I went on an organizing rampage, and found all of my cooking utensils. The kitchen is almost organized the way I like it so I can find my own pots and pans. I’ll be throwing out the things I don’t need today to make even more room.
Since I was finally able to find all my pans, measuring cups and measuring spoons, I decided to celebrate. I made some brownies.
This is an adaptation of the brownie recipe in the book Gluten Free Baking Classics by Annalise G. Roberts. If you’ve be hanging out here for a while , you already know that this is a book you have to get if you haven’t already!
2/3 cup all purpose gluten free flour mix (I used Trader Joe’s and left out the xantham gum listed below)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 cup USB
6 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup non hydrogenated vegetable shortening
1/2 cup vegetable glycerin
1/2 teaspoon stevia
2 teaspoons sugar free alcohol free vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
Preheat oven 325 degrees F. Line 9′ by 9′ baking pan with parchment paper. Cut darts in corners so that paper smoothly fits.
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum and USB in a bowl, Set aside.
Melt chocolate and shortening in a microwave safe bowl in microwave on high for about 40 seconds. Remove and stir mixture until chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in vanilla, vegetable glycerin and stevia. Whisk in eggs one at a time, and continue to whisk until mixture is smooth and glossy. Add flour mixture in two batches, and whisk until each batch is just combined. Stir in nuts.
Pour battered into prepared pan and place in center of oven. Bake about 35-45 mins or until fork inserted in center comes out with wet crumbs. Cool pan on rack for 5 mins.
Makes about 9 brownies
Hi!,
I just got a diagnosis of Candida, and I am going to be on anti fungal meds and the diet soon. I would love to know your journey and tips on how to lower my candida. I commented on your site in the past with a recipe I believe. My husband has enjoined a lot of your recipes, because he is reactive hypoglycemia and on a low glycemic diet. I love your recipes too and I look forward to sharing my recipes with you.
here is my email davidcravey@verizon.net
