In the directions, I say to flip the brownies onto a cooling rack "top-side/ugly-side down." You should serve the brownies upside down because they are better looking that way.<br /><br />I have never used granulated stevia, but I would say that is the only plausible reason why your brownies aren't sweet. Brown rice flour should work well as a quinoa flour substitute, I have used the two interchangeably in my personal experience.<br /><br />But, to salvage these brownies, maybe top with a chocolate or vanilla frosting (I have a few healthy frosting recipes), 100% fruit spread or crumble over a sweet dessert-like oatmeal or healthy ice cream :)<br /><br />I hope you get a chance to make these brownies again and I hope you get better results!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223230303706425812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834578705911913617.post-71147210476605641032013-01-25T20:51:09.358-05:002013-01-25T20:51:09.358-05:00couple of problems.....

I have tried the "chickpea cookie dough" recipe bouncing around the Web and thought it was the most disgusting thing on Earth. However, I built up the courage to make these, and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. I prefer them to regular brownies. SOOO good. I used just 1/2 cup cocoa powder, since that's all I had, replaced the erythritol with sucanat and the quinoa flour with spelt, subbed the pureed blueberries with one pureed and peeled apple, and stirred in about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
