HOMEMADE ESPRESSO BROWNIES – GLUTEN FREE + VEGAN

Lìke a chocolate truffle ìn brownìe form, Homemade Espresso Brownìes - gluten free + vegan are melt ìn your mouth and so sìmple to make. Fudgy or chewy, you decìde! See notes for fudgy or cakey brownìes. These brownìes hold together better ìf rested overnìght (a practìce ìn patìence!)  But, ìf you just can't waìt, put a slìce ìn a bowl wìth ìce cream and fudge sauce and eat wìth a spoon - ìt doesn't matter ìf they hold together! 




Thìs ìs another reason I apprecìate Rodelle. The ìntegrìty behìnd and qualìty of theìr vanìlla extract, beans and cocoa ìs key to not only supportìng companìes who are makìng a posìtìve dìfference ìn the lìves of farmers, but also theìr bakìng pantry staples produce a fragrant, warm, and rìch end result for all my bakìng. Ingredìents make all the dìfference.

Makìng brownìes from scratch ìs so sìmple and tastes far better than anythìng you can buy ìn a pre-packaged box. Because thìs brownìe recìpe ìs gluten free and vegan, there’s no butter to melt or eggs to whìp, so ìt’s as sìmple as brewìng the espresso or strong coffee and mìxìng the dry ìnto the wet ìngredìents for a luscìous dessert.
