They made 20 mini brownies. Aaaaand I over baked them. They are dry and gritty and so not sweet at all. I'm playing around with almond flour and coconut flour recipes. It's going to take some getting used too since I love me some wheat flour baked goods! I'll try the recipe again with more truvia (for calorie reasons) and bake for less time, starting at 15 min instead of 20.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807937207638154060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-4502315866242130212016-09-09T05:15:29.167-07:002016-09-09T05:15:29.167-07:00I made these last night, and I'm happy with ho...I made these last night, and I'm happy with how they turned out! I used Blue Diamond almond flour and unsweetened baking cocoa. I pretty much followed the recipe, with a couple of minor tweaks: I used half honey and half coconut oil, and I baked for only 22 minutes instead of 25, based a suggestion above, to get a more fudgy texture. They are so moist and soft! They're not as sweet as the boxed brownies I'm used to, but I really enjoy the bittersweet chocolate flavor. I had everything on hand and didn't even have to pick anything up from the store to make these. Thanks for a simple, delicious healthier brownie recipe!Shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-50672813263509326512016-09-02T17:19:15.755-07:002016-09-02T17:19:15.755-07:00These are really good cake like brownies!

Wh...I'm sorry they didn't turn out for you. When you say you followed the recipe exactly, do you mean you used raw cacao? Did you use butter or coconut oil? Also the variety of almond flour could make a difference. I use Honeyville blanched almond flour. Many brands use the skins in their almond flour/meal, and this could definitely contribute to a more oily texture. Humidity can also play a role.<br /><br />Next time, try slightly decreasing your oil. If you want a fudgier brownie, cook for a slightly shorter time. These taste even better the next day. <br /><br />Best of luck and let me know how your next batch turns out.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236185144763826567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-75081476256995346832015-06-17T15:47:40.004-07:002015-06-17T15:47:40.004-07:00Hi Teri,

Honey is not necessarily better for you than raw cane sugar (though raw honey has medicinal properties, they are pretty much destroyed when baked). <br /><br />Xagave is made differently, but I have learned through experience with sweeteners and purportedly low glycemic/low carb/low sugar products not to trust labels too much (when you have a blood glucose monitor, it's pretty easy to figure out what's going on). Heck, I eat regular old refined sugar sometimes, I don't mind what you put in your brownies.
