Guilt Free Brownies!!

Im so sick of not being able to have the sugary stuff anymore... I crave it and when I give in once in a blue moon, it tastes horrible. So disappointing. My brain craves the sugar but somehow my tastebuds have understood the toxic effect on my body and rejects it! So what do I do??? Well I thank Gwyneth Paltrow for writing the most incredible cookbook and creating this recipe! Now if you like something sweet but like me don't want the sugar dip and fattening effects sugar has then just go buy the following ingredients and don't ever look back! Plus this recipe is gluten free, lactose free and vegan.

I make these babies and then keep them in the freezer! Pop one out If you are having a weak moment but without the guilt!

It comes out more like a brownie cake but wait for it to cool before you slice it to pieces. 


Gwyneths Heavenly Brownies
Ingredients: 

2 cups white gluten free flour ( add 1 Tsp Xantham gum)
1 cup high quality cocoa powder
1 1/2 tbs baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil or egg free mayonnaise 
1 cup Maple Syrup ( grade a )
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1/2 cup soy/ rice/ almond milk
1 tbs pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 175 C and line a baking tray with baking paper. 

Sift the flour, Cocao and baking powder and add the salt. In another bowl blend the wet ingredients. Combine the wet an dry ingredients and don't over mix! Pour the batter into the tray and bake for 30 mins. 

It's that easy! Now my tip to you is if you need to find the ingredients go to your local health store. If you live near a whole foods,you can find everything there! 

Alternatively you can add walnuts, pecans, macadamias, hazelnuts or whatever you prefer. I usually use chopped pecans and walnuts. 
Enjoy!
