Brownies / Drownies

von Dieter




We (and apparently others) love these brownies so much that we keep adapting the recipe so we can eat them as much as possible. Below are two variants - the original indulgent type we made before integrating more protein in our diet is at the bottom, and the version we currently make a lot is at the top. The high protein version is also gluten-free! We played with these recipes in Europe, so the measurements are all in grams/millilitres - we now adapted this to cups for the first recipe but haven't tried it that often, so you if you are measuring ingredients by cups you might need to adjust the amounts slightly. The batter should be like a cream before baking, so more on the soft side. 

Wir (und anscheinend auch andere Personen) mögen diese Brownies so sehr, dass wir das Rezept mehrmals angepasst haben, um diese Brownies so oft wie möglich essen zu können. Hier sind zwei Varianten - eine reiche Variante, und eine Variante mit viel mehr Eiweiss.

Kate's version (high protein, gluten free - Drownies)

200gr protein powder mix (we use a mixture of 4 parts rice protein powder, 4 parts pea protein powder, and 1 part hemp protein powder) (1 cup)
200gr Zucker / sugar (1 cup)
50gr Kakaopulver / cocoa powder (1/4 cup)
1 Esslöffel (1 table sp) Backpulver  / baking powder 
Salz / salt
Vanille (amount depends on the type of vanilla you use, for most it is around 1 tsp)
200ml Wasser / water (3/4 cup)
200ml Öl / oil (3/4 cup)
4 Teelöffel (4 teaspoons) Maple syrup / Ahornsirup

Instead of the protein powder mix, you can use a mixture of 100gr gluten/seitan mix and 100gr protein powder (also soy flour works) - though that of course means they will no longer be gluten free

Indulgent (more sugar)

100g Zucker / sugar  (1/2 cup)
100g Mehl / flour  (3/4 cup)
100ml Öl / oil   (1/2 cup)
100ml Wasser / water   (1/3 cup)
25g Cacao pulver / cocoa powder  (1/6 cup)
1 Teelöfel Salz / salt (1teaspoon)
1 Teelöfel Vanille (1teaspoon)
1 Esslöfel Backpulver / baking powder (1Tablesppon)
1 Esslöffel Agave oder maple sirup (optional) (1Tablespoon)

you can also make the indulgent version gluten free by using gluten free flour rather (Rewe's gluten frei mischung works well for example). 

Instructions for all types

  • Mix the dry ingredients directly in the baking pan
  • Add the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork
  • Bake at 370F for 35 minutes, the brownies are ready when a knife comes out clean and the top has started to caramelise

Anleitung

  • Die festen Zutaten in einen Backschussel geben, leicht vermischen / Mix the dry ingredients in the baking pan.
  • Die flüssige Zutaten hinzufügen und mit einer Gabel gründlich vermischen
  • Backen bei 180C für 35min, sie sind fertig wenn ein Messer sauber herauskommt und die Oberfläche leicht karamellisiert ist
