Allergy Friendly Double Chocolate Brownies

"When I tell people that these brownies are gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free and soy free – the response is always “well, what’s in them?” I respond – pigilicious magic! I hit the jackpot with these brownies. They are not too sweet, and really tasty, with a moist texture and spring that is just right. I can’t get enough of them. You could always add more chocolate if you wanted a more decadent brownie. But I think they are great as they are! YUM!"

  1. After reading the one review I was a little concerned; however, I did my homework. I looked on your blog and saw the amazing comments this recipe received and I did see where the previous reviewer had posted and your response. I am so glad that I did the research and made the recipe. These brownies are sinful and a little goes a long way. I baked them in the 8x8 inch pan as recommended. Carefully measured the banana and applesauce and as I said the results were amazing. The applesauce was my homemade raw applesauce. I did cut mine into 12 small servings and served with gluten free ice cream. I will be making these again I am sure. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
     
  2. I think I may have done something wrong here! Mine didn't rise as much as the ones in the photo, and I could not get the toothpick to come out clean despite cooking them 30 minutes longer than what the directions said. Maybe I was supposed to put the dates in the blender instead of chopping? (same with the bananas and applesauce?) I have never had luck baking anything allergy free and was hoping for a miracle with this recipe! I couldn't eat them, but my son did like them. He is allergic to gluten, casein, and eggs and has never had brownies...so he will usually take what he gets. I would LOVE to hear any tips! I am practicing for his 5th birthday party.
