Brownies Without Grains

Submitted by Aimee88

"I developed this recipe out of my other brownie recipe when my husband no longer wanted to eat grains (along with not eating sugar). This recipe is very tasty and even has a good texture, with no grains of any sort."

ingredients

• 150 g butter

• 45 g cocoa powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla

directions

1. Allow butter to soften, or melt. Preheat oven to 175°C or 325°F.
2. Prepare a small baking dish, or individual dishes.

4. Bake for about 20 minutes in one dish, or about 15 minutes in individual dishes. Finished brownies should be a bit firm to the touch.

I'm afraid I didn't like these brownies very much. They were put together easily and baked up nicely, but - personal preference - they somehow taste a little too "greasy" for me and not really chocolaty. I'll try them again with less butter and cocoa powder and add some molten dark chocolate instead. Made for Comfort Cafe Snow Queens Round 2010. Update february 2010: I froze half of the brownies after making them, and now, after thawing, the taste has improved a lot!
