If you have a sweet tooth like me, being unable to eat cane sugar can be hell. I’m also a chocolate whore so buying any manufactured chocolate is out since it all contains sugar and most contains dairy. I can’t count how many times I’ve craved brownies or something like that, so I finally decided to try and develop a palatable gluten and sugar free (and it’s also dairy free) brownie recipe. And let me tell you, the recipe below rocks!
Gluten Free Sugar Free Brownie Ingredients
1 cup of soft vegan butter (available at your local health food store)
1.5 cups of local, raw honey
1 cup of rice flour (sometimes I go half/half with another flour like mung bean flour so it's less gritty)
3 eggs which if you’re lazy like me, you don’t pre-beat
½ teaspoons of salt
1 cup of walnuts, your nut of choice, or just leave the nuts out
1 teaspoon of vanilla – make sure it is quality vanilla that doesn’t have corn syrup as an ingredient!
1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder – see if you can find organic
Brownie Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grab a nice big bowl, then break out your trusty fork on the butter until it’s nice and creamy (I often microwave it a little first). From there, simply add in the honey and mix mix mix. Then toss in your salt, vanilla, and eggs and mix mix mix. Toss in your cocoa powder and then your flour and finally your nuts. Make sure you mix it up real good. Finally, dish the batter out into a well greased pan that is around 9x13x2 and bake your brownies for 30-35 minutes. I think you’ll find these brownies taste great despite being sugar, gluten, and dairy free
