found this on a web site someplace style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

only 141 calories per serving!

1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 cup natural granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds, optional
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt or soy yogurt
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla extract
1/4 cup low-fat milk, rice milk, or soy milk, as needed
1/2 cup chocolate chips, preferably cane-juice sweetened

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly oil a 9 x 9-inch baking pan.

2. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flaxseeds, if using, in a mixing bowl and stir together.

3. Make a well in the center and pour in the yogurt, oil, vanilla, and enough milk to make a smooth and slightly stiff batter. Stir until completely mixed, then stir in the chocolate chips.

4. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sides of the cake begin to pull away from the pan, and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean (with the exception of the melted chocolate chips). Allow to cool in the pan until just warm, then cut into squares to serve.

Makes 12 or 16 squares.

I hope you like it !

hello!

I have checked those brownie recipes for a long time already and now I just cant take it anymore style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif
I?d like to try it but I am a little puzzled with the measure "cup".
I am from Estonia and we do not have this. Can anyone help me and tell me how big is this "cup"?
1 dl? or 2 dl?

And once I saw another brownie recipe where was 2 squares of chocolate. How big is the square?
We have here big chocolate squares for 100 grams - is this the same?


Thank you in advance.

Ruta

Hi Ruta - According to my trusty Joy of Cooking, 1 cup = 284 mL, and 1 square of chocolate = 1oz (or 28 grams.)

Enjoy the brownies!
