We have had monsoon rains all summer, but it turned cold after the one last night. I needed a sweater and hat to check the mail!
Today, as I was finishing up reorganizing my kitchen and changing the storage for my gluten free mixes and flour to glass jars, I decided to make a brownie from scratch.
After all, the oven wouldn’t heat up the kitchen!
I had almost a cup of a flour blend that did not fit into one jar, so decided to use it in the brownie.
This recipe uses 12 tbsp of fat and 1 1/2 cups sweetener. I have different types of shortening, so decided to mix them. I also like to mix stevia with sugar to reduce the sugar grams.
Feel free to use all sugar and/or butter. Stevia blends don’t have the moisture that sugar has, so a bit of liquid sweetener was used
I like dark chocolate thus this is a dark chocolate brownie. If you are a milk chocolate lover, add another 1/4 cup sweetener and remove 1 tbsp of cocoa.

1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup Stevia blend (or sugar)
3/4 cups Dutch-process cocoa
Wet ingredients and Fats
8 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 tbsp Nutiva Shortening (red palm & coconut oil blend)
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp Red Palm Oil
2 large eggs
2 tbsp Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Nectar

2 tbsp coconut, unsweetened, shredded (Let's Do Organic)
Procedure
· Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" shiny pan. A 1/4 sheet pan is comparable.

· Beat the Wet ingredients and Fats until blended
· Beat in the combined Brownie mix until blended, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Gradually add in the hot water beating until blended
· Fold in the Add Ins
· Spread batter into a lightly greased shiny pan. Top evenly with Toppings
· Bake the brownies for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a tiny amount of moist crumbs clinging to it.
· The edges of the brownies should be set, but the middle still soft.
· Remove the brownies from the oven, and cool them completely before cutting and serving
