Flourless Brownies

(A photo collage of my recipe process!)

WARNING: THIS RECIPE IS THE REAL MEANING OF "DEATH BY CHOCOLATE"! If you are looking to bake a beautiful batch of gluten-free brownies, there's no need to turn to alternative flours. In fact, a perfect brownie can be baked without any flour at all! These flourless brownies are rich and decadent. The best part is, the batter is all mixed together in just one bowl, so cleanup is a snap when you use this recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs (I use backyard chicken eggs!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Optional: Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:
  1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a brownie pan.
  2. Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from microwave and stir to combine until smooth.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time until batter is smooth. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the cocoa powder and stir until well incorporated.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared brownie pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Lightly dust with powdered sugar to decorate, if desired. Cut into squares to serve.

Tips:
  • If you only have unsalted butter on hand, then substitute that in the same quantity as the salted butter. However, remember to stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt along with the granulated sugar if you are going this route.

The brownies can be enjoyed plain or decorated with a light dusting of powdered sugar for lovely presentation. These brownies are perfect to serve guests when you aren't sure of any allergies or dietary restrictions. They are naturally gluten free, and don't taste like like any special ingredients have been used or any accommodations have been made. They are simply rich and delicious brownies that everyone can enjoy! I highly suggest you try this recipe! I have confidently made these brownies three times, and they were a hit all three times! And when you use eggs from your chickens, these brownies taste epic!

Lafayette ~ From Runt To Rooster

  Lafayette ~ From Runt To Rooster September 20, 2020 (Lafayette in front of the coop!) The French Maran breed is a very beautiful breed of chicken. The roosters and hens are colorful alike! The roosters have very glossy feathers with streaks of gold here and there. The hens are also black in color, but they do not have any gold feathers. Hens lay chocolate-colored eggs. French Marans are also known to be very friendly. The hens are very docile, and the roosters are barely ever aggressive. This is no different with our French Maran rooster. Lafayette is the sweetest rooster on earth! (At first, he was the runt. From a previous post, you may have remembered that he eventually turned out to be a roo!) He is a delight to hold, and even my mom, who would never go near a chicken before, (let alone my dad), actually picks up Lafayette now!  Whenever you put him on the ground, he will sit down and wait for you to come back before he stands up again. If you leave him alone in the coop, he will

The Great Eggscape

The Great Eggscape January 2, 2022 (A chick making the Great Eggscape!) Ever since starting to raise chickens, I had in the back of my head to try hatching eggs one day. And so I decided to do so over Christmas break! Unfortunately, Angelica isn't the best broody hen (she will sit on her eggs for a few days, then abandon them forever!). Fortunately, we were able to borrow a Brinsea incubator from a friend and so I got started! The plan was originally to hatch the chicks on Christmas day (cool right?), however, we got the incubator a little too late to set them for Christmas, so we eventually set them for December 28th, my grandpa's birthday!  Since Lafayette kindly provided us with some fertile eggs, we decided to use those for hatching! How exciting it will be to have mixed breed chicks!  If you are hatching with a Brinsea incubator, or are just starting out your journey of hatching eggs, Brinsea's Incubation Handbook is a great place for info! As soon as I collected th

My Independent Science Experiment 2021

   My Independent Science Experiment 2021 April 4, 2021 (A screenshot of my computer screen as I worked on my lab report!) As you all know, around Christmastime, I had to do an Independent Science Experiment for school. I decided to do: "Advances Of How Music Has An Effect On A Chick". I think my experiment turned out really well. The results were shocking! The experiment got 2nd place in a county science fair! Plus, I want everyone to see the results of how music affects the brain. So, without further ado, I give you my lab report on my Independent Science Experiment! Advances Of How Music Has An Effect On A Chick Purpose : To find out whether classical music actually has an effect on a chick’s brain, and whether it might have an effect on a human’s brain. Hypothesis : I hypothesized that the chick that was exposed to music would be mature in size, wingspan, weight, and behavior, because of exposure to constant classical music, and the chick that is not exposed to music
