The other night I was searching for a recipe to fulfill my dreams of a chocolate hazelnut gfcfsfcfef brownie. Now. Let's be clear. When I envision brownies, I'm thinking of ooey gooey, fudgey deliciousness that should be sinful from the first bite to the last.

Now. I found oodles upon gaboodles of gfcfsfcfef hazelnut brownie recipes. I really, truly did! But the people that created these recipes are evil! They all had significantly disgusting ingredients like: softened, crushed up dates! And not just a little, either! Like, a cup and a half! How is that even remotely acceptable? Seriously, just because someone has to have a ridiculously strict diet doesn't mean we should force them to eat the icky stuff no one else will buy.
So, I found a brownie recipe from Babycake's online, and I think I will mess around with it this weekend and see what kind of trouble I can get into. They use "garfava" flour (ew), which I think I will replace with half hazelnut flour and half King Arthur gluten free flour mix, and the xanthan gum replaced with guar gum. I think I will also add some chopped hazelnuts. And top it with coconut milk ice cream. And fudge sauce. And more hazelnuts. OK, shutting up now.
I have also heard rumors of Betty Crocker's GF line of mixes, but I'm betting I won't be able to purchase them for the Monster House because of xanthan gum, or corn flour, or other fun things, like soy. But I'll read the ingredients and let y'all know.
