Gluten Free Pick-Me-Up Brownies (No Gum or Added Starch)

Gluten Free Fudgy Pick-Me-Up Brownies

Need a pick me up and a fudgy chocolate fix? A celebrity chef used to sell 1,000 of a similar gluten brownie each week. Why? Because they are fudgy, the coffee it contains not only provides a boost but enhances the chocolate flavor, and they are packed with walnuts and chocolate chips. These gluten free pick me up brownies are no different and also have a dense texture typical of fudge. They do, however, differ from most gluten free brownies because they do not contain gum or added starch such as tapioca, potato, corn, or arrowroot. Maybe you’ll decide to sell them too!

Single Serve Gluten Free Brownies (Sugar-Free)

A small batch gluten free sugar free brownies recipe - perfect for two people; or just for one, if you' can't bring yourself to share them.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons cooking oil (I used light EVOO.), plus more for pan
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (I used 2%)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons hot water
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons beaten egg*
  • 1 Tablespoon buttermilk (I used 2%) (or additional milk)
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoon xylitol (birch derived recommended)
  • 1/4 cup Copycat Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour Blend Recipe, plus more for dusting
  • 2 Tablespoons gluten-free unsweetened cocoa powder (or Rochelle Dutch processed cocoa)
  • 1/8 + 1/16 teaspoons gluten free baking powder (Rumford's)
  • Small pinch salt
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Oil and dust with flour a mini cake pan; and set aside. (I used a 4 1/2 round x 1 3/4-inch mini spring-form pan.)
  2. Whisk the first 7 ingredients (liquids and xylitol) in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour blend, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat together until smooth.
  5. Fold in nuts, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center shelf for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack. If using a spring-form pan, remove the ring. Allow the cake to cool for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from pan or bottom pan and allow to cool completely. Slice into 4 pieces and serve.

Tips

Variations:

Add chocolate chips to the batter.

Add frosting or ganache to the top; or slice in half and make into a 2-layer cake.

Add half of the batter into the pan, add 1 tablespoon nut butter, then the remaining batter.

Add 1 tablespoon of nut butter to the top of the batter and swirl it in before baking.

*When doubling this recipe, use 1 large egg.

Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)

Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies

Bean flours create higher risen baked goods, but many of the flours create a bitter flavor. One way of getting around this is by using cooked beans. I prefer to use refried black beans. They’re so creamy and not bitter at all. The dark color is perfect for chocolate dishes such as this gluten free brownie recipe. It is dairy-free, gum-free, and grain-free, techinically, as buckwheat is a seed, not a grain. Some refer to buckwheat as pseudograin.
