Welcome back 2020!
I have stopped blogging for 5 years and I never thought that I would still be sharing recipes. But it is how it has been and I’m happy to be doing so again. I will also be uploading a video version of it with the recipes and steps. So, there’s no excuse on not knowing how to make it.
These are relatively simple and straight forward but if you need a video to guide you, here it is.
They can be made gluten free by substituting the All Purpose flour to a GF flour mix. I’ve tried both and they taste great.
Using the GF flour mix of buckwheat creates a nuttier and dense texture but since it’s brownies, the denseness is perfectly forgivable.
You can also add extra toppings such as Nutella or peanut butter on top. Steps to do so will be on the video.
