Vegan Gluten-Free Brownie Bites Recipe

Upon entering my work building this morning, I noticed a table set up with baked goods for sale right in the lobby.  A company in the building bakes and sells goods and gives the proceeds to a charity. This time the money was going to a Food Bank near my house so I decided to buy a few things which I would offer to my colleagues. Of course there is nothing vegan, dairy or gluten free for those that might have allergies. I asked them if I could volunteer to bake for the next event, even though I don’t work at this company. Of course she took my information and I am hoping to provide baked goods for those with specific diets or allergies. I love purchasing baked goods to support charties but it would be nice if there would have been something vegan :)  

Here is a recipe I found and will probably be using. It’s a Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free & Low Sugar recipe: (found on godairyfree.org)

This recipe was featured in the the September 2006 issue of Food & Wine, and comes straight from the kitchen of BabyCakes NYC.Ingredients:

  • Vegetable oil spray
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips  

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray mini-muffin pan with vegetable oil spray. (If you can find them, mini-muffin paper liners are ideal; they make a better presentation and seem to hold up better than their unlined counterparts.)
  • In a medium bowl, combine baking flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.
  • In another bowl, whisk applesauce, oil and vanilla, then stir into dry ingredients.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon batter into muffin pan, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake for 15 minutes, or until set.
  • Allow brownies to cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
