Blueberry Brownie Bites - A Gluten-Free Vegan Recipe

By awright0511

I used organic frozen wild blueberries in this chocolate brownie recipe. I thawed them first and patted them dry. In summer, use fresh blueberries.

Ingredients

• Mix your egg replacer:
• 3/4 cup sorghum flour
• 1/4 cup potato starch (not potato flour!)
• 1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 cup organic cane sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacerwhisked with 2 tablespoons warm water (the equivalent of one egg)
• 1/2 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening
• 2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon raw organic agave (or honey)
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 1 cup wild blueberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and g-free flour or line a twelve-cup muffin tin with papers.

Whisk together the dry ingredients:

3/4 cup sorghum flour
1/4 cup potato starch (not potato flour!)
1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup organic cane sugar

Mix your egg replacer:

1 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacerwhisked with 2 tablespoons warm water (the equivalent of one egg)

Add it to the dry ingredients along with:

1/2 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla
1 tablespoon raw organic agave (or honey)
1/2 cup hot water

Beat with a wooden spoon till smooth. Add in:

1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 cup wild blueberries

Stir to combine.

Spoon the batter into the 12 cupcake cups (I used an ice scream scoop to do this- easy peasy). Use wet fingers to even out the batter, if you like.

Bake in the center of a 350 degree F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes- keep an eye on them. They should be firm to the touch.

Cool on a wire rack; remove the brownies from the pan to continue cooling when they are not too hot to handle; this keeps the bottoms from getting steamed (meaning, soggy).
Wonderful warm and gooey.

Wrap cooled brownies individually and freeze for a future gluten-free sweet. Warm briefly in the microwave before serving.

Cook time: 22 min

Yield: Makes one dozen brownies.
