Competition

So, we have a competition for Color Guard tomorrow. I am soooooo excited!!! I'm also a little nervous. Haha! I am going to have to wake up, like, super early. EEEEAAAHHHH!!!! Anyway, it is going to be a lot of fun. I hope that everyone on my team does well. I will let y'all know if we win, so check back soon!
Ok, I tried a new recipe that is within my special diet (my special diet is explained a little more in my post "Hey hey hey"). This time I tried making brownies!!! I absolutely LOVE chocolate, so I had to find something with chocolate in it that was on my diet. They were really rich and don't taste as good as a typical brownie, but they still were delicious. Considering that they were pretty much everything free, I wouldn't complain, just saying. I give them a 3 1/2 stars out of 5. Try them and post below what you thought of them. That's it for now. Love y'all!!!

Fudgy Coconut Flour Brownies

Yield: Makes 16 brownies

Dense and fudgy, these coconut flour brownies taste rich and decadent. If you prefer a more bittersweet chocolate flavor, use only 1/2 cup honey/maple syrup. If you prefer a sweeter brownie, use 3/4 cup of honey/maple syrup.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup minus 1 Tbs. coconut flour (use the "dip and sweep method" to measure or use a kitchen scale and measure 50 grams of the flour) I use this coconut flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder - substitute carob powder (this stuff) if there is a chocolate sensitivity
• 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. butter, melted
• 3 eggs, at room temperature (egg substitutes will not work)
• 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 and grease a glass baking dish (8x8 or 9x9).
2. Mix together all ingredients. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer or high-powered blender.
3. Pour into the baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes before cutting or removing from the pan.
4. These store well at room temperature or in the fridge for a few days. Make sure you keep them in an airtight container.
