Fantastic Flax Brownies!

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

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
