AGAVE-SWEETENED BROWNIE GEMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease three 12-cup mini-muffin tins with oil.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, potato starch, arrowroot, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the 1/2 cup oil and the agave nectar, applesauce, vanilla, and hot water to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.
• Using a melon baller, scoop the batter into each prepared mini-muffin cup. Bake the brownies on the center rack for 9 minutes, rotating the tins 180 degrees after 5 minutes. (For a more fudgy-tasting cake, bake for only 8 minutes total.) The finished brownies will have firm edges with a soft center, and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean.
• Let the brownies stand in the tins for 20 minutes, or until completely cool. While they are still in the tins, press your thumb into the center of each and fill the depression with 1 teaspoon chocolate sauce. To maintain freshness, leave the brownies in the muffin tins until ready to serve. Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

LOW-FAT VEGAN BROWNIES

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in agave nectar, water, vegetable oil, applesauce and vanilla; mix until well blended. Spread evenly in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
