Babycakes on Martha


Wow, I was sooo excited. I know, I get excited by very strange things. But I happened to catch the first half of the Martha Stewart show yesterday and she had on the owner of New York's Babycakes bakery. Babycakes specializes in desserts for people with allergies. So, all of their recipes are vegan, wheat-free, corn-free, nut-free, refined sugar-free etc. Since I'm vegan, my mom is diabetic and my brother's girlfriend is celiac, it was very exciting to see some recipes that I could try out on them. And since the recipes were available for free on martha's website I thought I would post them here as well for all to enjoy. I plan on trying out the brownies at our next family gathering.


Enjoy!


Brownies

Makes about 5 dozen mini browniesNote: This recipe is free of wheat, gluten, dairy, casein, and eggs.
