I REFUSE to pay $7 for a bag of brownie mix!!!! Has anyone tried to make these from scratch? Do you just use a regular recipe and substitute rice flour and xanthan gum?

I think it's important to start with the best recipe before converting, as all chocolate brownies are not created equal.

Thanks!!!I'm drooling just looking at it--but I don't have coconut oil or sweet rice flour. Could butter be substituted? What about the sweet rice flour?

I use coconut oil to avoid butter. The recipe originally contained butter, so you can substitute it.

Sure, substitute regular rice flour for sweet rice flour.

You have GOT to try this one - no funky flours at all! And they're delicious. Guaranteed.

I got the recipe from Canadian Living Magazine.

Too-Good-To-Be-Gluten-Free Brownies

Note: look for adzuki (or azuki) beans (small sweet red beans popular in Japaneze cooking) in health food stores, Asian markets and some supermarkets. If you can't find them (I couldn't) use 1 3/4 cups (425mL) drained rinsed canned or cooked black beans (which I used).

1/2 cup butter (125mL)

6 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped (175g)

1 can (14 oz/398 mL) adzuki beans, drained and rinsed

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1. Line 9-inch square metal cake pan with parchment paper, leaving 1-inch overhang. Set aside.

2. In small saucepan, melt butter with chocolate over low heat; set aside. Meanwhile, in food processor, purée beans until smooth; set aside.

3. In large bowl, beat eggs with sugar until pale and thickened; beat in vanilla. Stir in chocolate mixture until combine; stir in beans until smooth. Scrape into prepared pan.

4. Bake in centre of 350F oven (180C) until cake tester inserted in centre comes out with a few moist crumbs cinging, about 45 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack.

5. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. Using paper as handles, remove brownies from pan, cut into squares.

Makes 16 squares.

I tried your brownies last night, made with butter since we have no dairy issues. They were a big hit with my husband & son-- neither Celiac-- both liked them very much! I made them in a 9 x 13 pan since my family goes for brownies on the chewy side. Crispy outside & deliciously gooey within. The chocolate chips are a yummy addition. I added some walnuts too since we're nut nuts.

I may actually try them sometime with the coconut oil if I can find some-- we also love coconut-- does the flavor come through or is it more neutral? Do you buy it from an Asian market or from a health food store?

Thanks for a great recipe!

Actually, the coconut oil I use for general purpose baking comes from Walmart. I buy it in 31.5 ounce tubs for $2.67. It is refined and flavorless. I also have virgin coconut oil I buy on the internet (Open Original Shared Link), but that has a wonderful coconut flavor that doesn't go with lots of things.

I've found coconut oil sold in natural food stores to be more hit than miss. Some brands taste really awful. Try the Walmart stuff.

Thanks so much, eKatherine! I'm discovering lots of fascinating new ingredients in the 2 weeks since being diagnosed. I thought I was an adventurous cook before, but this is a whole new kind of adventure!

The Camden Grey sounds like something I'd like to try too, since my family loves the flavor of coconut.

What a great new resource this board is!

Thanks again,

Leah

Really sounds awesome! Thanks for the recipes. We're going to try making them for an Alex's Lemonade Stand fundraiser and bake sale at work. I'll probably end up buy them all myself! :P

      I'm also a nurse, but one who has worked in chronic care, and to some extent, it is more satisfying to see patients through to a diagnosis (as opposed to working in the ED), but an accurate diagnosis does not occur not as often as it should! Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.
    • Suzi374
      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
