Time to make the doughnuts
Apr. 7th, 2013 01:14 amNo, no doughnuts. I still rue that I had enough willpower to not buy a doughnut pan several years back, though. I'm convinced I can concoct a baked version that would be killer. But I suppose that's beside the point.
It's 1:15 AM, I'm wound up from excess caffeine on my one caffeine day, plus sleep patterns that are completely jacked up (stupid effing Roy - it's apparently a spring/summer thing for him to fling himself on me at 4 AM without fail; am I a prude for not wanting to love anyone or anything at that hour? anyway, the wake up calls start then and don't end until 7, which means I roll back into bed after. and with no reason to get up...).
Anyway, what else to do at this hour but bake some brownies? Just kidding. I made these during the daylight hours.
Grain free brownies with a definite peanut butter taste. I cobbled this together based on the billion and one recipes online for gluten and/or grain free brownies, so it'll be pretty much what you can find on great blogs/sites dedicated to eliminating grains specifically from your diet.

If I'd had any, I'd have added chocolate chips or chunks to the batter. Alas, all I have in solid chocolate form at the moment are some Peppermint Patties chillin' in the freezer and methinks peppermint and peanut butter aren't a match made in heaven. I could be wrong. Didn't want to chance it.
I'm fairly sure you can use your favorite nut butter, and that ones with a weaker taste than PB would give you a nice, dense brownie without the overwhelming note of the old goober peas. ;)
