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!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
