    As I experiment with gluten-free baking, I know one thing for sure...I do not want to use additives like xanthan gum in order to create a yummy treat.

    So I play.

    And sometimes it comes out not half bad.

    This time I took a clean brownie recipe and made it gluten-free and sugar-free. Normally I avoid "substitutes" and instead opt for raw honey as my sweetener of choice, but I was in a mood to try something different so I went with stevia for the sweetener. Certainly a better option than other artificial sweeteners and for those watching their calories, it is a great alternative.

    Overall these are pretty darn good for something I substituted ingredients for on a whim. They are similar in texture to packaged brownies, not so much homemade ones, but if you are gluten-free and want brownies, these will certainly fill your craving. My son loves them and keeps asking for more. My daughter ate hers slowly, I think she doesn't yet have the palette for dark chocolate.

      Having a gluten allergy is every tough to deal with. I like seeing recipes like this. I agree Tegan, Stevia is a a good choice of sugar.. I also like the unsalted butter and the natural peanut butter. Good choices

      I love that you are using stevia. My mother-in-law has been using it forever, and only now is it becoming popular. 🙂

      I won't use stevia - it gives the hubs a headache - so my question is, can I use regular sugar? Or should I stick with honey (and if I do honey - is it still 1/3 cup?)

      Thanks so much!!!

        I was hesitant on the honey because I wasn't sure if it would fall apart. Sugar should be fine, same amount.

        Thank you for posting! I am thrilled to find your recipe that uses Stevia (my husband can't have sugar/honey/agave) AND doesn't also have coconut oil. My hubby can finally eat brownies again!

      Dark chocolate is the only way to go! Thanks for the recipe. I will have to try it... right after your bread recipe. I'm still stalking waiting for your gluten free recipe 🙂

        Ok I'll do the gluten-free this week. I want to try it again because my timing was off so it sunk. Honestly if you want to experiment, its the exact same recipe as this: https://www.730sagestreet.com/homemade-white-bread/ just with gluten-free all-purpose flour. It will be like cake batter NOT dough. It will rise (warming in a200 degree oven - heat then turn off then put bread in - with a damp towel over it helps it rise faster) but you have to watch it like a hawk. It will turn on a dime and sink. If you think it's risen well, bake it right then per that recipe link.
        Or just wait for my recipe for a better guestimation on time. It does not rise as well as regular bread. The slices will be smaller. But it tasted good.
