Sunday Giveaway: Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Palm Sugar (And a Gluten-Free Brownie Recipe!)
Go ahead and go nutty, coconutty, for this giveaway!
This giveaway is part of New Year New Rear Week, FBG’s annual tradition of starting your New Year off with a fit bang. Get all the special posts and giveaways here!
We’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts! Okay, so not exactly. But we do have a lovely bunch of Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Coconut Palm Sugar to give away for a dang sweet end to our New Year New Rear Week of special content.
In fact, we’re giving out a basket of this Organic Coconut Palm Sugar, which is about the best sugar around. Besides being fair trade and organic, it’s totally non-GMO verified, gluten-free, kosher—and did we mention delicious? This stuff is great for all of your sweet needs and is a rich, unrefined brown sugar with a deep caramel flavor. For example, it’s simply fabulous in the below gluten-free brownie recipe!
Salty and sweet…our favorite combination!
Gluten-Free Sweet and Salty Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
1¼ c good-quality semisweet chocolate chips
1 c softened unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 c Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp kosher or fine sea salt
1 tbsp instant espresso powder
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1½ c salted, dry roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a 9-inch-by-12-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Put the chocolate chips and butter in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly combine. Add the eggs, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, espresso powder and vanilla and blitz until combined; batter is supposed to be lumpy. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top and gently press into the batter.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until the batter is set and feels slightly firm to the touch. The outer edges will be a little drier than the inside. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Yum. Time make cookies!
I liked the the post “Foodie Finds: Cooking With Apple Cider, a New Way to Eat Brussels Sprouts & More!”
Lots of good information!
The Smoothest Sports Bra You Can Buy Under $50 is my fave so far! Sheesh, sports bras are challenging items. Tips are always appeciated!
Your cookie & smoked brisket day reminded me that I want to make this:
Scharffen Berger Cacao Nib Rub
2 tablespoons Scharffen Berger Cacao Nibs
2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed (use coconut sugar!!)
2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1 2.5 lb. tri tip roast, fat cap left on
To make the rub, combine nibs through salt
in a food processor, spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind until nibs break into particles about the size of coarse cornmeal. Use immediately, or store in a tightly covered jar for up to one month.
Rinse roast and pat dry with paper towels. Generously cover the meat with the rub and wrap in foil or plastic wrap. Marinate overnight
in refrigerator.
Remove roast from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. In the meantime, fire up the grill. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking with coals to either side. Place meat on grill, fat side up. The internal grill temperature should be between 275 and 300 degrees F. Grill meat for 40 minutes. Check the temperature with an instant read thermometer. For medium rare meat, remove from grill when the thermometer reads 125 degrees F. Let roast sit, loosely covered with foil, for several minutes before slicing. Serves 6.
Scharffen Berger Cacao Nib Rub offers slightly nutty and earthy flavors, with chocolate overtones, adding unexpected sophistication to your favorite grilled items. The flavors of cacao make this the perfect romantic dish to serve to that special someone in your life. Not only is this rub great for tri tip; it can be used on skirt and flank steak as well.
i’d make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies!
and my fav post was actually from a few days ago: “Veg-Curious? Start Here.” (http://fitbottomedeats.com/2013/01/veg-curious-start-here/)
