Your Gluten Free Recipes

Valentine's Day is just a few days away and my mind wanders to chocolate delicacies.  One of those is a simple brownie.  Several years ago I found a recipe that came from an unusual source.  I home school my kids and use Saxon math.  One of the lessons in third grade math was following a recipe.  That recipe was for brownies.  They were the best brownies I have ever had.  They totally blew away boxed brownie mixes from the store.  Now that I am gluten free we had to rework the recipe.  The only change was to replace the flour with a gluten free mix.  It is such a simple recipe, why would I want to use boxed mixes with inferior taste, quality, and ingredients.

2 squares unsweetened chocolate (organic if possible)
1/2 C. butter
2 Eggs (organic. cage free are best)
1 C. sugar
3/4 C. gluten free all purpose mix
1/2 tsp. baking powder (aluminum free)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 C. walnuts( I use pecans because I am allergic to walnuts) optional


Do Not preheat oven!  Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler.  In a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar. Add the chocolate and butter and mix well.  Add in the flour and baking powder.  Finally add the vanilla and nuts if you are using.  Pour batter into a greased 8" baking dish.  Bake at 300 degrees for 55 minutes.  These are great plain, but you can frost if you desire.
