"Snack"urday: Dairy Free, Gluten Free Brownies

Oh how I never thought I would bake anything that was Gluten- Free or Dairy-Free. How kids change everything, I know we are eating healthier now. But the days of going to the Dairy Queen drive through and getting a large Oreo Blizzard are over …(sighs!) So, in my effort to try to be more Gluten Free around here I am trying a new Brownie Recipe.

I had made the new Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies from the box and they are delicious! However, $4 something every time we want brownies is a bit much. I knew I could find a great recipe to make them from scratch and I did!

I am trying something new, let me know how you like it. There is a printable version of the recipe. Click the link below the recipe name below!

Gluten Free, Dairy Free Brownies

Printable Version of RECIPE!

————————————

• Vegetable Spray (Pam)
• 1 ¼ cups applesauce
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 mashed banana
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cup brown rice flour (Publix sells this!)
• 6oz chocolate chips or half a bag (vegan or Ghiradelli are dairy free!)

———————————————————
Preheat oven to 350 °

Grease and 8×8 pan using either vegetable spray or crisco. I would use a 9×13 next time I make these. They come out really thick!

In a large mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients. Dry Ingredients

After Wet ingredients added.

Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the pan comes out clean. Be careful not to over cook!

These brownies are dense and fudgey!

I was instructed by some tiny people to cut them before they were completely cool…that is why the brownie in the picture looks a little too gooey!

For those of you who are not interested in Dairy Free or Gluten Free, I will now direct you to one of the best homemade Brownie Recipes EVER!
