Fudgy Brownies

Oddly low fat, but not low sugar... ;)

2tbs butter or oil (coconut is good!)

3 oz unsweetened chocolate-coarsly chopped (melts faster)

1 c sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2/3 c Pamela's baking mix

1/2 c nuts--optional--I don't like them in my brownies...

Preheat oven to 350

In double boiler, slowly melt chocolate and butter stirring frequently

With wooden spoon or spatula, mix sugar into chocolate

Cool in fridge for 5-10 minutes--just so you don't cook the eggs

Add vanilla

Mix in eggs one at a time

Add Pamela's, stir till well combined

Pour into well greased 8x8 or 9x9 or 11x7 baking dish

Bake 25-30 minutes

Try to wait until they're cool before you cut them!!

I also baked these in a 9x13, let them cool, crumbled them up in a bowl with some mini marshmallows and slivered almonds, topped 1/4 filled baked and fudge frosted chocolate cupcakes, then broiled-watching VERY carefully-until mallows started to puff and brown. Made 25 cupcakes that disappeared in about 2 seconds!!

They'd also be good as an ice cream topping!!!!! :P:P:P:P

mmm...so easy too! I hate it when recipes call for 5000 different flours that I never have on hand. These are easy to whip up a quick batch, as I always have at least one kind of gluten-free flour/baking mix, and all of the other ingredients are so simple!

You can also do this with any other flour blend you like, you just need to add a little xanthan gum and 1/4 tsp baking powder.

Oh--if you use a different flour blend, you have to increase the oil or butter to 1/2 cup...

I am new to the gluten-free diet :huh: (my daughter was diagnosed with celiac two weeks ago)

What is Pamela's baking mix? and where can I get it? I live in Miami, Florida and the only market that offers a variety of gluten-free foods is Whole Foods market.

You sholuld be able to find it at whole foods. I buy in bulk from amazon. It's a baking mix with a variety of flours plus baking soda, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum. I use it in all of my baked goods. When subbing it in though, I reduce the fat (oil, butter, etc) by 2/3 because the mix has almond flour in it, so it acts as a fat. If you use full-fat, stuff doesn't turn out right. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions-learn from our mistakes ;)

You can also look at the Pamela's products at pamelasproducts.com

Hi Rachelle :)

Just for my own clarification...do you only use 2/3 the fat of what the recipe calls for, or do you reduce the fat by 2/3...in effect using only 1/3 of what the recipe calls for?

I'm only asking because I had never considered reducing the fat.

I learn something new every day! B)

Thanks. Happy baking!

I use 1/3 of what the recipe calls for. If I'm making cookies and it calls for 1c butter, I use 1/3c or about 6TBS. It's not really an exact #, but about 1/3. If the recipe calls for less than 1/2 c, I usually omit the fat all together. I've only been able to do this with the Pamela's baking mix. If I'm making banana, pumpkin or applesauce muffins, I omit the oil all together!!!!! Omitting the oil, they taste more like muffins. Add 1/3-1/2c oil (the recipes usually call for 1 cup) and it's more like a cake. I make the banana muffins at least once a week! Last time I forgot the sugar, I panicked after I pulled them out of the oven, but not even my food critic husband noticed--thank goodness I had thrown in a cup of frozen blueberries, I think that masked the lack of sugar :P

I forgot to put the sugar in choc choc chip muffins once so I frosted them. Perfect remedy in an emergency. I had about a dozen kids ready to eat them.

I made this on Saturday. I think I cooked them too long, because they were a little dry. I will try again because they did taste very good.

I'm sorry!! Mine had a nice crust on top and were totally fudgy in the middle... I always start 5 minutes under the origional cooktime, check and then keep baking, if necessary. I have a convection oven so things tend to cook a bit faster. I hope they turn out good next time!

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
