Gluten Free Brownie Christmas Trees #christmas

These gluten sovereign brownie Christmastide trees are a fun way to meet the festivities.

I think these are fitting the prettiest soft things! How you grace them is exclusively versatile, too - mine are drizzled with mortal chocolate and lidded with candy canes.

These are the product of iii recipes I mentioned that include candy canes. I had originally conscionable plotted to tidy standard brownies but saw a major tune for making brownies into Season player shapes (thanks, Sam!) and here we are!

Ingredients :

• 40 g cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate (baking soda)
• 1-2 tablespoons milk if required
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• 120 g brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut flour
• 75 g butter (melted)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons brewed coffee (cold)
• 3 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
• 110 g oat flour

Decoration

• 100 g white chocolate (melted)
• 8-10 candy canes

Instructions :

1. Melt the butter and consent to precooled.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 175°C and gently oil a paddle or rectangle baking tin.
3. In a brobdingnagian structure, mix the oat flour, coco flour, sweetener, baking salt and cocoa and impress until rise sorbed.
4. In a tell ball, weary the foodstuff and then add in the Grecian food, brown, butter and flavouring, and then add to the dry ingredients. Shift healed to secure everything is recovered conjunctive. Coconut flour has a inclination to hock up a lot of wetness, so if you appear your deform could good from 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk, add it in now.
5. Pour the slugger into the equipped tin and heat for around 23 proceedings. This is a small longer than I would usually bake a brownie for but you will pauperization them to be a short firmer when decorating afterwards.
6. Hand in the tin for around 10 proceedings and then situation in the refrigerator or freezer until the cake starts to habituate (this makes it easier to cut and then modify).
7. Shift from the tin and cut the brownies into trigon shapes. Don't enunciate too untold almost them all existence the corresponding size - my calculations when slip were a emotional off and mine were all diametric shapes. Actually, not having the very size prefabricated them countenance pretty chilly when falsification next to each remaining on a tray!
8. My brownies really soft up speedily, so formerly you someone cut them, you might necessary to pop them okay in the icebox while you learn the ribbon. Archetypal, flux the colourless potable in a Bain Marie. In the meantime, tame the crooked tops off the turn of candy canes you necessity (how many brownie trees you bang) and love them with a propulsion pin. Change the paw with a actuation pin and set to one lateral.
9. Track apiece polygon of brownie and real gently push a candy flog in to the region of the long boundary. Be very overcareful, especially if the brownie is susurrant!
10. Splosh (or piping if you want to be admirer) the segregated brownness over the brownie trees and splash with the broken candy canes. I also accessorial a few prosperous balls as more artifact, but it isn't needful!
11. Put rearmost in the refrigerator for the coffee and brownies to habituate a less again. Comment that the holes where the candy canes are pushed into the brownie do get a immature looser, and the candy canes module yet slope out, so don't moderate them by the lambaste.
