Brownies (four types)

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 three variants - the original indulgent type, a healthier type with less sugar and a lot more protein (values at the bottom), and a mixture between these two. 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 drei Varianten - eine reiche Variante, eine gesündere Variante mit weniger Zucker und viel mehr Eiweiss, und eine mittlere Variante. 

Indulgent (more sugar)

100g Zucker / sugar  (1/2 cup)

100g Mehl / flour  (3/4 cup)

100ml Öl / oil   (1/2 cup)

25g Cacao pulver / cocoa powder  (1/6 cup)

1 Teelöfel Vanille (1t)

1 Esslöfel Backpulver / baking powder (1T)

1 Esslöffel Agave oder maple sirup (optional) (1T)

GLUTEN FREE

Use gluten free flour rather than flour with gluten in it (Rewe's gluten frei mischung). It tastes better (is less crumbly and more crispy) when it is not mixed with soy flour.
