Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 60 minutes | Yield: 12 brownies
Brownies are a go-to treat anytime of the year. But we’ve found it tricky to make the perfect gluten free brownie, until now! After a lot of trial and error, we promise this gluten free treat will not have you feeling like you’re deprived of a “real” brownie.
The absolute best base for your gluten free brownie is Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix. Chocolate cake? YES! The top secret hack is that the cake mix is actually the same product as the brownie mix, but for much less money (shhhhhh, don’t spill the tea!). Using the cake mix, with the brownie mix directions, will make a batch of moist, rich, GF brownies that do not taste gluten free at all!
We’ve modified the recipe just a bit to make it a home run. And, since I always eat “the corners” we found a solution for every brownie to be “a corner” brownie; instead of using a brownie pan, bake your brownies in a cupcake tray! The final modification is (of course!) adding Two Brothers Toffee into the mix. We love chocolate mixed with a fruity taste, so we chose to use our Whitecran Two Brothers Toffee, incorporating dried cranberries and white chocolate into the plain chocolate brownie mix. The tiny bits of toffee in each bite add flavor and texture to the brownie, making this a unique twist to a traditional treat!
