Gluten free brownies that are so cakey and delicious – a treat for any meal, any time of the year!
I think I put this gluten free brownies recipe on my website right at the very beginning of my website, back before I realized I needed to have photos and some little narrative about the recipe. So, I did what any good website blogger does – make the recipe JUST so I could take a photo to put here. You believe me, right? I just made these gluten free brownies for the photo … (cough, cough!).
Anyway, about these brownies. A lot of my brownie recipes (like these healthy zucchini brownies) are very fudgy and a lot of my brownie recipes (like these chocolate mint brownies or these healthy brownie bites) are quite crumbly. These are very cake-like. Probably more like a chocolate cake than a brownie, but anything with chocolate in it, is a winner in my book!
Give them a go and let me know what you think!
