Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I made the trader joe's GF brownies last weekend and they came out great. I ended up adding tons of extra chocolate chips though (probably close to 1/2 or 3/4 of a cup). They were fudgy, but not greasy. I used canola oil - not sure if the kind of oil makes a difference. Thanks for the black bean brownie recipe- I'll have to check it out. I definitely prefer baking from scratch versus a mix but I'm so new to GF cooking I'm taking it slow as I've had some bad early experiences w/ sticky messes (pizza dough, pancakes, etc.) BTW yesterday I nearly glutenated myself. I had bought one of those 16 bean soup mixes and figured as long as I didn't use the " broth " packet I was fine. So I soaked the beans overnight and then spent 4 hours making the soup. One bite in I realized I thought I sensed something chewy that did not seem like a bean - more like barley - and sure enough upon pulling the bag out of the trash and checking the ingredients, barley was considered one of the " beans " . Grrr.... Fortunately I spat out the bite and never had a reaction. So my brother came over and took the soup home w/ him.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 For my son's b-day this weekend, I made Namaste brownies (mix from Draeger's), and they were indistinguishable from regular brownies. They were moist and chewy. I tossed in some choc chips, frosted them with GF frosting, and called it a cake. 12 people gobbled them up, and only 1 had celiac.

I followed the recipe exactly as it's stated on the bag, and it was so greasy that it literally boiled in the baking pan without ever baking. It called for 1/2c of oil, and yet that seemed like way too much. Bummer. :(Then I came across this recipe this morning for black bean brownies. No flour, and it uses agave nectar as a sweetener so it's not all gross processed-sugar ick.
