What a game. I always root for the underdog, but the Cardinals just couldn't get that golden horseshoe out of Ben's butt! All season the announcers talked about Pittsburgh's defense, but the offensive line always does a great job of giving Roethlisberger all the time he needs to throw. It's funny how many of my Ravens colleagues were pulling for Pitt - our arch rival!
I may have been disappointed with the outcome of the game, but not the food. We put out a gluten free spread to rival most restaurants. But, in my estimation, the pièce de résistance was the decadent fudge brownies I made. This was my first attempt at baking a gluten free dessert since being diagnosed. I started out with a recipe that's an old favorite, but had to MacGyver it as I didn't have all the ingredients.
So...without further ado, here's my new chocoholic creation - No Gluten Zone Brownies.
No Gluten Zone Brownies
6 oz. 70% cocoa chocolate bar
1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tbl vanilla
1/2 + 1 cup + tbl gluten free flour blend (use your own favorite - I used Pamela's)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 300°.

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 300°.
Grease an 8"x 8" baking pan.
Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Do not overcook chocolate - if you are down to a few small chunks remove from heat immediately and stir until all chunks are melted and mixture is smooth.
In a large bowl, beat eggs until light yellow - 3-5 mins. with an electric mixer. Add sugar and beat on low until thoroughly combined.
Add vanilla and chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture and beat on low until smooth.
Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
Mix chocolate chips with 1 tbl gf flour and fold into batter.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 45-55 mins. or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool to room temperature before cutting into 2-inch squares.
Servings: 16
Yield: cut into 2-inch squares
This recipe will go down in history as my official Super Bowl dessert. And next year I'm rooting for a whole lotta Ravens Nation!
