Gluten Free Brownies----- FROM HELL!!!!!




        BROWNIES!!!!!
     FROM HELL!

OK # 1 thing I have missed from my old life (being a carefree doughnut, NORMAL BREAD, cake, brownie eating machine) is the baked goods. Especially cake but seeing as I was running low on all the necessary flours, I found a brownie recipe that called for oatmeal flour.

Easy enough right? I have a huge bucket full of certified GF oats, so the recipe called for 2 cups of oatmeal to put in a food processor and make it into a semi fine flour. Check! I am finding out that as I go on most GF baked good, dough’s are very VERY thick. And the mixture of the brownie.... well let’s say this in the most polite way I can harness to come out of my tongue.... Well here is what it looked like.... I work with a lot of livestock.... it looks like what comes out of a cow.... and no not that delicious milk.... yeah.... that stuff.... its brown and gooey.... ok enough pictures being imaged up.



So I smooth it all out into a spring pan, it’s looking nice, and the smell of the chocolate is heavenly wafting through the house making me and my non GF roommates’ ravenous chocolate fiends. After 3o min I pull it out and I’m not going to lie. At this point I looked at it and thought I was God's gift to the GF baking world.... and then I let it cool. It sat there all nice and scrumptious looking, then I take my knife.... imagine a white bill Cosby ( from “Cosby Himself”, the part where he's cutting the chocolate cake for the kids) and I’m standing there with the knife over the brownie, holding it with such care and anticipation.
   Enter my Cosby face, looking at the nicely sliced pie shape brownie, as though it were the cutest baby ever! I get my fork and nicely, eagerly cut a piece off for me and I place it in my mouth and chew for 2 seconds and then.... nope....i think to myself ... This crap cant stay in here... its not worth it.
DISASTER! THIS RECIPIE IS A FAILURE..... 

my roommates kept coming over and trying it one by one, completely disregarding my warnings of potential poison and death, and they all take a big bite, and then realize I probably poisoned them. And it ended up in the garbage. Then they all look at me like Hillie Holbrook from the help, when Minnie tells her to "eat my shit"... ha-ha, they probably thought I put some in there too!

Needless to say, my brownie adventure was in fact an adventure but, like a true revolution we can’t let these "crappy" recipes be spread around. My fellow Gluten Intolerants we are entitled to GOOD TASTING GLUTEN FREE FOOD

Keep Fighting- Topher
