Brownies and Pie (whole grain and agave!)




I have had sooo many people request more recipes that I am putting two on today. These use whole grains and no sugar and taste dang good. And these ones feature chocolate, of course!

Terri's Gooey Brownies

1 Cup butter melted
6-8 Tblsp Cocoa powder
4 eggs
1 Cup agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla
1 Cup flour ( I use 1/2 brown rice flour and 1/2 coconut flour with great results!)
1 Cup Grain sweetened Chocolate chips

First beat the cocoa into the melted butter, then add agave, eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add dry ingredients and choc chips, pour into greased 7 x 11 inch pan and bake at 300 deg. for about 30 min... maybe longer depending on how you like them- keep eye on them. If you want them gooey bring them out when they still seem rather moist and cool completely. Once you have made these a few times you will learn at what point they are as baked as you like them.



Jojo's Chocolaty Pecan Pie
