 <\/p>\n

This is my grandmother’s recipe for blonde brownies that I cut in half and adapted to be lower in sugar and gluten free. For a full batch, just double all of the ingredients and use a 9 x 13 pan.<\/p>\n

4 tbs butter or ghee
\n1\/4 cup applesauce
\n1\/4 cup coconut sugar
\n1 egg
\n1 tsp vanilla
\n1\/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
\n1\/4 cup buckwheat flour or gluten free all purpose flour
\n1\/4 cup ground flaxseed
\n1\/2 tsp baking powder
\n1\/4 tsp baking soda
\n1\/2 tsp salt
\n1\/2 tsp cinnamon
\n1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a glass 9″ baking dish with non-stick spray, such as avocado or olive oil or line with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter. Mix in the applesauce, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla.
\nAdd the gluten free all purpose flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
\nStir in the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20 – 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n1\/4 cup oatmeal
\n1\/4 cup buckwheat flour or gluten free all purpose flour
\n1\/4 cup ground flaxseed
\n1\/2 tsp baking powder
\n1\/4 tsp baking soda
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n1 tsp cinnamon
\n3\/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks<\/p>\n

Follow the same directions as above, mixing the oatmeal in with the flours.<\/p>\n
