So I had too much time on my hands last night (it's the family joke that if I have more than 2 hours of free time, I'll bake something), and a hankering for chocolate. I also had just bought some flax meal and was looking for recipes to use it in. I don't know why I wanted brownies, I don't like chocolate, and I've made brownies 3 times in my life :blink:

These came out PERFECT, they're cakey and fudgy at the same time and I love them. Better than any glutened mix I've had! They were super easy, and have the added nutrition of flax!

Anyway, the recipe is from Pizzey's Milling (though I used bob's red mill flax meal)

I'm posting it with my adjustments.

Flax Brownies

INGREDIENTS:

¼ cup butter

4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped* (see my note below)

3 eggs

1 ½ cups sugar

2 tsp vanilla

¾ cup gluten-free flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)

¼ cup flax meal (I used Bob's Red Mill)

1/4 tsp. baking powder

Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9" square baking pan. Place chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave with 50% power (approximately 2 ½ minutes) until butter and chocolate are melted. Stir. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add chocolate mixture and vanilla. Stir in flour and flax meal. Bake approximately 25 minutes and cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap.

*I wasn't sure about the gluten-free-ness of my baking chocolate, so I used 3 tbsp hershey cocoa with 1 tbsp shortening per ounce. Worked beautifully.

ENJOY !!!! :lol::D:P

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
