Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownie Cupcakes


Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownie Cupcakes



Three words. Fudgy. Brownie. Cupcakes.

Lately we've been experimenting with baking brownies in a cupcake tin. Just for a change-up. We felt like tweaking again. We're using Baker's chocolate now (semi-sweet and unsweetened). And we're favoring hazelnut flour. We boosted the baking soda a tad. When they bake they rise and fall and crack like little flourless chocolate cakes.

What's not to love?

Now go bake up a batch for the weekend.

Be safe, take care of one another.

Karina's Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownie Cupcake Recipe

By Karina Allrich April 2013.

These rich and chocolaty little cakes are like a gussied up brownie. Soft and fudgy in the center, with a delightful, slightly crisp outer edge. They remind us of flourless chocolate cake.

Ingredients:

3 ounces semi-sweet Baker's chocolate or your favorite GF dark or semi-sweet chocolate
2 ounces unsweetened Baker's chocolate or dark chocolate
1/2 cup coconut oil or melted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup hazelnut flour or almond flour
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 organic free-range eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon good vanilla extract*
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional:

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 12-cupcake baking pan with paper liners.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat, gently stirring. When the chocolate is melted, remove from heat and stir in the oil to combine.

In a mixing bowl whisk together the light brown sugar, hazelnut flour, sorghum flour, fine sea salt and baking soda.

Add the eggs, vanilla extract and melted dark chocolate mixture. Beat for two minutes, until the batter thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.

Stir in the chocolate chips by hand. If you are adding nuts, stir in by hand.

Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the 12 baking cups.

Bake in the center of a preheated 350ºF oven for 22 minutes, or so, until the brownie cupcakes have risen, cracked and fallen. They will look like mini flourless chocolate cakes. Do not over-bake- especially if you like a fudgy soft center.

Cool the cupcakes on a wire rack.

Yield: 12 cupcakes

Gluten-Free Goddess Zucchini Bread

Got Zukes Galore? Sharing a favorite summer recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess-- a cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini. You'll love it. And so will everyone else. I also jotted down some batter and baking tips for ya. See below. GFG Tips on gluten-free bread baking: Here's my all-time favorite baking pan for gluten-free breads. It's a lovely glazed ceramic pan that creates steady, even heating for gluten-free batters. In other words, it's as foolproof as you can get. Find it here at Amazon:  Good Cook 9-Inch Ceramic Loaf Pan . Make sure your batter isn't cold when you put it into the oven. If you keep your flours in the fridge, for instance, this will cool down your batter quite a bit. If you find your batter is cooler than room temperature, allow the batter to rest in the pan near the pre-heating stove and let it come to room temperature before you place the bread pan in the oven to bake (I also do this with cakes sometimes). The first time

And you start imagining fresh, juicy blueberries, nestled beneath a perfectly golden crumble of a crust, warm, the deepest purple, bubbling as you slide it- ever so gently- out of the oven and onto a cooling rack to rest and settle until you can't stand it a minute longer, breathing in the cinnamon laced aroma of a summer dessert classic. The forever glorious blueberry crisp. And this one's gluten-free. And dairy-free. No xanthan gum either- a bonus. So darling. Don't wait. Blueberry season is short and sweet. Peace + Love, Karina xox

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Berry Parfaits

Image
Parfait this! Easy fancy for a long hot summer- so bookmark this one... a simple, creamy coconut ice cream recipe served parfait style with blueberries and strawberries. And it's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. And because you make it yourself, gum-free and carrageenan-free. So many yays. It was sunny and hot yesterday, and today is a repeat. So during a heat wave, even a modest two-day hot fest, yours truly is unable to muster any enthusiasm for cooking. Typically, I live on gluten-free granola. And ice cream. Yes, I know. I am a poor, sad, sad role model. What kind of food blogger doesn't rise to the challenge and cheer-lead you to whip up baby kale and avocado salads and raw maca peach turmeric and oat milk smoothies? What kind of food blogger would simply give in to her sticky, prickly fatigue and general overall crankiness and not create some virtuous, nutrition packed bunny food miracle slurry for you? This one. She who is about to share a no-cook reci
