Gluten-Free Vegan Dark Chocolate Brownies

Dress these brownies up with icing to make a delicious dessert or a snack on-the-go. Either way, they are delicious. I made these with my cherry-coconut whipped cream and they were awesome! Gluten free often makes desserts dry and brittle but this version is a lot more moist than the standard gluten-free brownie recipe. Bananas are the key. Find some browning or rotting bananas, it will bring a chewy, moistness without the banana aftertaste.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups maple syrup
¾ cup dark cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed bananas
¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
½ cup cocoa nibs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine flour, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; blend well and make a well in the center. Combine mashed bananas, coconut milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract in a second bowl. Pour banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir until batter is evenly mixed. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with cocoa nibs.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

Cook's Note:

I used about 3 well ripened, brown bananas to get 1 cup of banana puree.

Coney Island Hot Dogs

The story of how the Coney Island hog dog got to the Midwest is pretty straightforward, but no one really knows exactly how the wiener first came to be topped with what is basically a hot meat relish. I have no idea how authentic this is and have never been to Detroit or even Flint. I have had Nathan's version, which I enjoyed, but the word on the street is that it's not nearly as good as the relatives it spawned.

Turkey Baby Food

Turkey is a great first meat for babies because it's easy to digest, and the dark meat is high in much-needed iron. Making your own baby food is quite easy, even with turkey! I recommend freezing what you don't use within a day or two — then you'll have little meals at the ready whenever your baby is hungry. Store for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.
