Michelle's Freefrom Chocolate Brownies

Corn, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, peanut, sesame & wheat free; can be nut & soya free

This makes a quite solid, rich brownie – not gooey, but ‘meaty’! If you want to make it egg free you can, although they will be a bit solider. Just leave out the eggs and add 3 heaped teaspoon of baking powder rather than the 2 level teaspoons specified in the recipe. If you want to make it nut free – leave out the nuts!

Makes 8 generous brownies

Ingredientsfreefrom choc brownies

  • 150g / 6oz dairy free spread or coconut oil
  • 150g / 6oz dark muscovado sugar
  • 75g / 3oz cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 75g / 3oz sifted gram or chickpea flour
  • 75g / 3oz rice flour
  • 2 level tsp gluten and wheat-free baking powder

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4.
  2. Beat the spread with the sugar in a mixer, then add the cocoa powder and the eggs.
  3. Beat very briefly then stir/fold in the flours and the baking powder along with the milk, chocolate pieces and the nuts.
  4. Spoon into a well oiled baking tray, lined with oiled baking parchment or foil to make them easier to get out. The mixture needs to be a good 3cm/1 inch thick.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or till a skewer comes out clean – then remove from the oven and, in the tin, cut into whatever size brownies you want.
  6. Allow to cool completely before removing with a spatula.
