Chewy Cupcake Brownies can be made GLUTEN FREE and CASEIN FREE - GFCF
Hello All –
For those on a gluten free, casein free GFCF diet, I created this recipe! We made it quite alot when my Dr. had me on an “Anti-Inflammation Diet” without gluten, milk and a whole lot of other things I love! While waiting for my NT cookbook to come in, I made up a batch of these Chewy Cupcake Brownies, an old Weight Watchers recipe I had loved, for only 1 point apiece, with SG buckwheat flour, which I am allowed to have.
They were more dense, more chocolatey with the buckwheat but not bad. They are not as good as a fudgy brownie, Texas Sheet Cake, or some of the other more decadent brownie type treats –but it sure is better than nothing! I have made these for several years and they are a kid favorite, done up in cupcake papers! This is probably not as healthy as you are hoping for….but they are chocolate!
