Today I have been craving something chocolate...like cookies or brownies. A piece of dark chocolate just would not do! Since I have food allergies and I have to use a special kind of flour (expensive flour I might add), I was hoping to make something that didn't use flour. So I googled "flourless brownies" and I found this recipe. I tweaked it a little to suit my taste and this is what I came up with to satisfy my chocolate craving!
Flourless Chocolate Brownies
- 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup butter
- 2/3 c. sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups ground almonds (I used a mixture of almonds, pecans and walnuts)
Over low heat in a heavy saucepan melt butter and chocolate together. Take the pan off heat and add the sugar and vanilla. Let the mixture cool a little.
Whisk the eggs into the chocolate mixture, then add the ground almonds (I ground up the nuts in my food processor. They were still a little mealy, but you don't want to grind them too much and make butter!)
Turn batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan and bake 25-30 minutes (I baked mine for 30). The edges and most of the top will have set but it will still be a bit wiggly in the middle when shook. Allow to cool and then cut into 16 pieces and serve. Brownies will be fudgy and gooey.

Super yummy!!
As you can tell, I had a itty bitty taste. I'm waiting til Jacob gets home to have a big one! But I had to try them while they were still warm!
looks delicious... although with my allergies I'll have to omit the nuts!
