Recipe reprinted with permission from The Looneyspoons Collection: Janet & Greta's Greatest Recipe Hits Plus a Whole Lot More! TIP: After days of tinkering and lots of research, we’re certain that the best gluten-free baking results are achieved by creating your own gluten-free flour blend. Our blend works very well in most muffin, cookie and brownie recipes. You can buy these ingredients at a health food store or bulk food store. Combine 2 cups sorghum flour, 2 cups potato starch (not potato flour), ½ cup coconut flour, ½ cup brown rice flour and 1 tbsp xanthan gum. Mix well and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.
Servings
Makes 16
Ingredients
  • ½ cup Greta’s Gluten-Free Flour Blend (see tip above)
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp each baking powder and salt
  • ¾ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
    • Directions
  • 1.

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.

  • 2.

    In a medium bowl, combine flour blend, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Mix well.

  • 3.

    In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, pumpkin, butter, egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir vigorously until well blended. Fold in nuts and chocolate chips. Batter will be thick.

  • 4.

    Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, until top feels dry to touch. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight for best flavor. Cut into 16 2-inch squares. These brownies taste great cold!
