Brownies

[Tired of Chub]

Hey everyone! My lovely BFs birthday is this week. He is very sensitive to what I can and cant eat and is not fond of me making things for him that I cant have. (bless his lil heart!). I asked him this morning if he wanted me to make him a cake and he decided against that (even after I told him I knew I could find one that I can have too). Hes decided he didnt want my cheesecake either. (despite his love for it). So, hes decided that he wants brownies. the heavy thick fudgey ones. Anyone have a tried and true recipe for fudgey gooey heavy brownies? Im on the legumes rung. I have almond flour, soy flour, coconut flour, that great chocolate baking cocoa (the dark stuff), granulated splenda, etc etc at my disposal. Bonus points if i can make it in a small heart shaped or similar LITTLE pan andi ts a recipe that doesnt make a ton (IM having portion control issues as of alte but thats a whole other subject )

He will eat anything. especially if I make it LOL

My modification for brownies is on page 5 of the thread. Post #44.

Re: Brownies

Megs you rock. How much beans did you end up using in the very last post on the last page? (the black beans?)

I found this on Stellas site. Any opinions from the good folks here on this recipe?

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the chocolate and sweetener. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping the bowl well after each addition. Add the coffee and extracts. Beat until combined.

In a medium bowl, mix the almond meal, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Add to the chocolate mixture and beat well. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Re: Brownies

I used 1 can (15 oz I think) of black beans---make sure they aren't the seasoned black beans because there are some brands that have onion, garlic, etc. added to them.
