Today I baked an interesting recipe of gluten free brownies. There is no flour or wheat in them at all so if you have celiac disease or simply an allergy, this is a good one to try.

Please guys, don't be put off by the beans. I was at first but when it was finished, I couldn't tell they were made with beans at all.
They tasted very cocoa strong but not so sweet. So add more sugar if you prefer more sweetness.

Gluten Free (Bean) Brownies

Ingredients
1 15 oz. can black beans, well rinsed and drained
2 large eggs
3 T oil
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped dates
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Optional toppings: crush walnuts or pecans

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease a 12-slot standard size muffin pan (not mini).
Place all ingredients except nuts in food processor and puree – about 3 minutes – scraping down sides as needed. You want it pretty smooth.
If the batter appears too thick, add a Tbsp or two of water and pulse again. It should be slightly less thick than chocolate frosting but nowhere close to runny.

Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin and smooth the tops with a spoon or your finger.
Optional: Sprinkle with crushed walnuts or pecans.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides.

Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes before removing from pan. They will be tender, so remove gently with a fork. The insides are meant to be very fudgy, so don’t be concerned if they seem too moist – that’s the point.

Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. Refrigerate to keep longer.

Great! Much healthier than regular brownies.

Thanks for this recipe.

Here's an easy way to do rice:

Double amount water to rice. (1 cup rice, 2 cups water.)

Add your water hot, like from a tea kettle. Bring it to a boil, then cover and turn it down to summer. Stir it maybe once; if you like it sticky, stir it more. Just keep it covered, low heat. Add butter or salt to your taste. It will be ready when the water cooks out. Very quick, very easy.

If you don't start with hot water, just cover and bring to a boil. Watch it so it doesn't boil over. Same procedure. Turn the heat way down. Stir. Wait.

I actually move my pot to a cold burner when I start the low simmer portion.
I will try this! I haven't successfully made rice yet in my lifetime. :-)

Your matriarchal essence is such a blessing to this website, Plus 1, maybe one day you'll have been an inspiration to a few other women here.
