Chewy Brownies Gluten Free Sugar Free Recipes

SUGAR FREE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch pan.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt margarine and cocoa together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in the sucrolose sweetener. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture then mix in the cocoa and margarine. Finally stir in the 1/4 cup of milk and if desired, the walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. To make frosting, Mix together the sugar free chocolate pudding mix and 1 cup skim milk using an electric mixer. Mix for about two minutes or until thick. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.

GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE, CHEWY BROWNIES (CRACKLY TOPS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x12 pan, or 24 muffin tins, or 48 mini muffin tins.
• Sift together the dry ingredients: rice flour, starch, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
• In another bowl, cream the lard, 2 tbsp water, powdered sugar, and ONE egg together for 5-6 minutes until looks like a soft, shiny, whipped frosting. I use a KitchenAid Stand Mixer setting it to around 6.
• Add the rest of the eggs (there will be three of them), one at a time until each is blended in, and the vanilla extract. Then turn up the mixer (KitchenAid on about speed 8), or use some serious elbow grease with a whisk, slowly pour the oil into the mixture (kind of like you're making mayonnaise; though it won't look or feel like mayo). At first, after you add all the eggs, it will look kind of worrisome, like tiny curdles and you've ruined it. Don't worry! Keep mixing! The purpose of this stage is to introduce as many bubbles as possible, whipping it so that it will have the glossy, shiny, crackly top. Mix for about 5 minutes.
• Finally, BY HAND (no mixer), add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until combined. Be careful not to over mix after you add the flour. This is to ensure that your brownies will be chewy and not cake-like.
• Add the mixture to your pan of choice. If using a 9x12 pan, bake for 25 to 30 minutes. If using muffin tins, about 20 minutes, and mini muffin tins, about 15 minutes. Always check at an early time to ensure they don't overbake. Overbaked brownies are more cake-like. If you want chewy brownies, be sure not to bake too long.
• Let cool, and then serve.
