In the holiday season, we’re inundated with all kinds of sweet treats—almost none of which are gluten free. It’s the south. We deal. My concession one night was to make up a batch of gluten free, slightly healthier homemade brownies. These are rich, moist, and delicious. Nobody would know they were gluten free or lighter. This makes a 9x9 pan of 12 brownies at 172 calories and 6.75 grams of fat.
Ingredients
⅔ cup unsweetened applesauce
⅓ cup dark cocoa powder (heaping)
2 eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup Splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup gluten-free flour mix (I used Bob's Red Mill)
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Mix everything but the chocolate chips until you have a nice smooth batter.
Add the chocolate chips.
Pour into prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes (don't overcook!).
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the foil insert and fold it down to enable easy cutting.
