Newbie with brownie question

I've been lurking here for a bit and came up with a question for you all.

 

My husband loves chewy brownies, not cake brownies or fidge brownies, but the

chewy ones. I've tried a brownie recipe with black beans which came out like

pudding, and another GFEF recipe that I literally had to chisel out of the pan.

 

Do you guys have a favorite chewy brownie recipe? My husband is allergic to

gluten, eggs, flax, and honey.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

His Servant,

 

Paula

I got the brownie mix from gluten free naturals and they where really good.

The first time I made them I burn them because they didn't look done to me.

I have a tendency of over cooking everything! I used egg replacer and after

they cool they are really good and chewy. I like their pizza crust mix too.

The pizza is best the next day! :) I think the website is gfn.com or else

you could google it and it comes right up. I think I posted something about

them before too. Don't make the same mistake I did with the brownies. Bake

them according to the directions and let them cool. They'll be perfect! lol

Hi. I'm brand new to this group. I'm not gluten-intolerant but my BF

is so I thought I might be able to find some good recipes/advice here.

Also, I used to be vegan.

 

I don't know where you live but I just discovered a delicious

gluten-free brownie mix at Trader Joe's. It might be the same one that

Jae Jones just mentioned (gluten free naturals), just rebranded. You

never know. The brownie's came out nice and chewy. We added chocolate

chips and walnuts to it. I also cooked mine longer than it

recommended. So delicious I'm wanting to go make some right now!

Ok, I just compared ingredients and the TJ's brand is definitely not

the same as the Gluten Free Naturals. It IS identical to the Namaste

mix, however. Check it out:

Mmmmm... brownies!

Perhaps it was just a glitch on our end, but my best friend and I both tried

to make the TJ gf brownies with flax egg replacer, and it came out terrible

both times.

Personally I have found that the ener-G egg replacer works best in dessert

items and the flax in breads. You could also use applesauce or banana in

place of eggs in baked goods. I often use applesauce in brownies and they

come out great!

I made brownies this weekend for my son, adapting one of my mom's

recipes. She probably got it from Betty Crocker, I'm not sure. I

used an egg, but you should be able to use flax gel or tofu as a

replacer. Don't know if I'd use Energy Egg Replacer in this one.

 

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 c Carrie's Master Mix

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup shortening

1/4 cup cocoa

1/2 c nuts (optional)

 

Cream margarine and sugar. Add egg/replacer and vanilla. Combine dry

ingredients, and add to creamed mixture. Add nuts.

 

Bake in greased 8 " square pan at 350 for 25 min.

 

Pam

 

Master mix:

 

Gluten Free All Purpose/ Master Baking Mix

(like Bisquick)

 

Entire mix makes roughly 30 servings (1/4 cup of mixture)

2 WW points per serving

 

 

2 1/2 cups brown rice flour

1 1/2 cups certified gluten free oat flour - or - millet flour

3 cups tapioca flour

1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. xanthan gum

2 tsp. salt.

3 Tbsp. baking powder

1/2 cup shortening (I used a butter flavored one)

 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all flours, xanthan gum, salt,

baking powder and powdered milk. Make sure to whisk for several

minutes to fully incorporate all ingredients evenly. Cut shortening

into small squares and cut into flour mixture (like you would for

pastry) with a fork or potato ricer until shortening has been fully

incorporated throughout the entire mixture. It will look like very

tiny peas or specks of shortening throughout the mix. When your mix is

well combined, place it in a seal-tight plastic or glass container and

keep in a cool dry place. I keep this in my cabinet with my gluten

free baking supplies. It will be ready anytime you need to use it!!

This mix has a very long shelf-life, but we usually have to make it

about once a month because we use it so often!!

Oops, I cut down the shortening to 1/4 cup, because there's already

shortening in the master mix.

 

They turned out wonderful, crispy outside and chewy inside.
