On another note, I found this recipe on my favorite gluten free blog glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com as soon as I saw it I knew it was a winner. These are gluten free but you would never be able to tell! The taste like "normal" brownies. And even better, they are individual! Scrumptious! These babies didn't need any tweaking, they are perfect the way they are!
1/2 cup organic expeller pressed canola oil (or coconut oil)
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.
