Chocolate Brownies (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

These Kaufmann diet friendly brownies make it hard to believe you have just given up wheat and sugar.  When I realized my 20 year sinus infection was due to mold and not just bacteria, I knew I was going to have to make a life change because all the surgeries and antibiotics in the world were not helping!  I was going to have to change my diet to starve out the infection.  Many recipes were born from this change of diet and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Note: I have tried making them in both in a glass baking dish and in a metal pan and hands down it comes out better in the cake pan.  The brownies get slightly crisped edges and they are so SO moist!  I got the inspiration for these brownies from a fantastic cookie recipe over at eating with purpose.  I tweaked it a bit and these fantastic brownies were born.

What You Will Need for Kaufmann Diet Friendly Brownies

• 1 cup almond butter
• 2 organic eggs
• 3/4 cup xylitol
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp tapioca flour or other Kaufmann diet approved flour
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray TWO square or round metal cake pans with either a non-stick butter or coconut oil spray.
• In a medium size bowl beat the eggs then add the almond butter, vanilla, and the apple cider vinegar.
• Add xylitol, coco powder, flour, salt and baking soda and mix well.
• Place 1/2 of the dough in each pan and spread it out until it’s even. This will take a little work as the dough is very sticky but if you use a rubber spatula dipped in water, this makes it much easier.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Do no overcook. Do not be concerned if the center looks too moist. Once they cool in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours they will be perfectly moist (but not too moist) and chewy. I keep the brownie in the pans and store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap. It’s doesn’t stick around long in my house anyway!

Why I Started The Kaufmann Diet

Below is my interview on Know the Cause with Doug Kaufmann.  If you have any health issues that don’t get better with conventional medicine, then mold may be the reason.   I talk about my decades long battle with chronic illness until I found my “cause.”
