LANI'S DARK FUDGE (GF) BROWNIES
Hi, Have you met me? My name is Lani and I can not EVER leave well enough alone! Even if I get rave reviews from everyone, and hubby loves it, I must continue trying to PERFECT it. This "it" was my brownies. I desired them to be more brownie-ish and slightly toned down on the "punch you in the face fudge" texture. But still deeply chocolately.
THESE ARE 100% GLUTEN FREE! YIPPY!
But not 100% guilt free, lol, dark as they are, there is sugar and crisco/butter involved!
3 eggs
1 cup white
3 tbsp dark brown
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup Pamela's GF Baking mix
1/2 cup butter/crisco
+ 1 tbsp butter or oil ...
to add in melting chocolate if desired
2 oz semi and 2 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
(or even one ounce more if you like)
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
large pinch of salt
nuts, add ins and espresso or coffee optional.
pre heat oven to 400
prepare square pan with foil tightly wrapped both ways, spray.
set up your double boiler, once water in pot boils turn off - add glass bowl on top and put in chocolate. stir stir stir. on the side, sift together flour, salt, and cocoa. set aside. keep eye on slowly melting chocolate. now cream together butter, and sugars, until ...well ...creamy, lol. then add vanilla and eggs, mix together. add flour mix in parts, stiring in, then slowly stir in melted chocolate.
pour into prepared pan and cook, 25 mins. (varies by pan, oven, altitude, etc) test with toothpick, quickly, then cover with foil. let sit 30 mins, then remove, wrap with plastic and let cont cooling to the touch with saran wrap. cut with pizza cutter or knife, whatever. wrap well, and save or serve.
serve warmed with cold vanilla icecream, yum!
