On January 17, 2007, the Martha Stewart show did a segment on allergen free brownies.  Yay!  The recipe then was put on the website.  It is so nice to see more information getting out there, especially in such a tasty way.  The recipe is from the profiled bakery, Babycakes, in New York City.  If you are out there, check it out!

The Recipe: Allergen Free Babycakes Brownies

This recipe is free of wheat, gluten, dairy, casein, and eggs.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oil, plus more for pans (I use mild flavored olive oil)
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons garbanzo and fava bean flour
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot
  • 1 cup unrefined sugar or 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons agave nectar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup store-bought unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee or hot water
  • 2 cups allergen free, gluten-free chocolate chips (such as from Enjoy Life)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Brush 3 dozen mini-muffin pans with oil; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, potato starch, arrowroot, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder; set aside. In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, 1/2 cup canola oil, and vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture, stirring to combine. Stir in coffee until it forms a batter. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Place 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup. Transfer muffin pans to oven, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before unmolding.
  • To freeze: Package cooled brownie bites in a freezer safe container separated by waxed paper. Remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.
  • To serve: Thaw.
