Fudgy Figgy Brownies

gluten free dairy free chocolate fig brownies


Lose weight, eat chocolate!
-Well that is the claim on the back of my packet of Cacao Powder. It also claims anti-depressant properties, but I chose it because it was dairy free. I got a query for a sampler of gluten free dairy free cake for a wedding - the client wanted individual cakes that can be arranged on large tiered cake stand.

I always cook brownies in my silicon muffin trays; it is so much easier to eject them when cool and the shape is better. The quantity below makes a manageable half dozen, as this was just a tasting. The gluten free flour I used already contains raising agents and binder so if your gf flour is lacking these essentials, you will need to add them..Personally, I find them too sweet but I guess that is the nature of brownies....anyway, for a special occasion you want something decadent: rich, dense and fudgy...
