I’m eat mostly healthy but ... Brownies
I love to bake, unfortunately baking doesn’t love me back. I am rarely successful when it comes to baking, but because I never give up, and I don’t give in to the baking Gods who clearly hate me, I always figure out a way to make it edible. Ok “always” may be a stretch, but at least sometimes. Case in point, a time that was successful, here we have a box of King Arthur GF Brownie mix for a quick and uncomplicated dessert for company coming over. “Hard to mess up a box of brownie mix!” you proclaim... well leave it to me- I messed it up. Still not sure how, but the brownies came out over-cooked on the outside and under-cooked in the middle. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t cut any shape out of them to make them look even half presentable. Nor did I trust I would be serving a fully cooked brownie. So here is what I did and here is the result:
1 package King Arthur GF (or your preferred brand) brownie mix
Made as directed except I used coconut oil in place of butter
Cook as directed except screw up somehow
Cool until you can eat off, I mean cut off, all of the crunchy bits. Scrape the rest into a giant mound of yummness and microwave 30 seconds at a time until they are not so gooey (this step is optional if needed and there is a concern of undercooked food).
Using a tablespoon or melon baller or regular spoon, scoop and roll into one inch balls and set aside.
Next I rolled the balls in a chocolate protein powder because I like to try to make ALL baked goods have some sort of heath benefit.
Next I rolled 1/3 of the batch in a light coating of powdered sugar, 1/3 into a coating of good quality organic cacao powder, and 1/3 in a light dusting of cinnamon.
You may try them immediately but not until they were refrigerated and taken with a bite of fresh mint, did they resemble kind of a miracle. I will be making this mistake again!
