CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

I love putting these bars in a container in the freezer and then letting a bar thaw 5 to 10 minutes before enjoying it with a cup of tea.  They’re great that way, but good at room temperature too.  This recipe would show case your favorite sugar-free chocolate - be it Chocoperfection or Lindt 70% bars broken up into pieces, Hershey's sugar-free chocolate chips, chocolate chips (Nevada) from Netrition or whatever you normally use.  Some people use homemade sugar-free chocolate chips.  

It's a beautiful day on the mountain and I barely noticed until now.  I've been working on putting facebook posts from the team into the index on my blog.  Time just flies and it's been a busy time lately and a stressful time.  I need to go and get ready for the day.  It is just after 11 am - something wrong with that!  I intend to smell the flowers during the day today and also make some soup with my homemade chicken stock and possibly try Judy's low-carb biscuits as well.  I only have almond meal on hand, so that should be interesting.  I'm sure they are better with almond flour though.  

2¹/₄  cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix, (560 mL)

1 tsp baking powder (5 mL)

¹/₄  tsp salt (1 mL)

2 eggs

Liquid sweetener (you can find the stevia equiv. too) to equal 1²/₃  cups (400 mL)

  sugar

²/₃  cup butter, softened (150 mL)

¹/₃  cup granulated erythritol (75 mL)

3¹/₄  tsp unflavored gelatin (16 mL)

1¹/₂  cups sugar-free chocolate chips (375 mL)

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix,  baking powder and salt.

In food processor, process eggs, liquid sweetener, butter, erythritol and gelatin until smooth.  Let the mixture sit 2 minutes to allow the gelatin to soften.  Add dry ingredients and process, scraping the sides at least once.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  Spread batter in greased 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) glass baking dish.  Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until turning golden brown and cake tester comes out clean.  Allow to cool completely and then cut into bars.
