Absolutely the BEST gluten free brownies out there!


Upon finding out this past Tuesday that our friends with two girls need some a few extra hands for some house projects Hannah and I decided to volunteer our time. Now you know girls we all love chocolate right? We definitely wanted to bring something chocolate to help the time be extra enjoyable, but there one daughter has quite a few allergies two of them are wheat and eggs. They also are foodies and know what good chocolate brownies are supposed to taste like so when we decided to make these brownies we were a little sceptical. We got to there house did some work and decided to take a break and have a brownie and some coffee, well we had coffee:) Then, with all of us taking our first bite into the brownie the room became dangerously quite.......and then WOW! We all could not believe how delicious they were! Most people think of gluten free as dry bland or gritty right? Well these brownies give gluten free a whole new meaning, even if you don't have a gluten allergy you will want to make these again. I think we will be making these just for our selves they were so good. If you like dark chocolate and a chewy fuggy brownie make these they absolutely fit into that category!

glad they turned out so great for y'all! I had some gluten free brownies a couple weeks ago and they tasted like they were missing something. I haven't really had any gluten free stuff before then so, but they weren't too bad :)
