I need to give a serious shout out to these gluten free brownies:

Trixie (6) saw them at the grocery store last week and really, really, REALLY wanted to try them.

I had to explain that they weren’t already in the box, we still had to make them (albeit with minimal effort).

And I often feel bad for her; she’s got terrible celiac disease and misses out on a lot.

But … a lot of gluten free baked goods are gritty. The texture’s off. They’re passable when you really, really, REALLY want a dessert, but well, it’s often just not the same.

So I wasn’t prepared to be wowed with these brownies.

Wrong!

The mix was pretty standard (add an egg, oil and water), and I purposefully undercooked them (~35 minutes when the box said 45ish).

They were delicious.

My only gripe is that they make an 8″ x 8″ pan, so their total lifespan around here was less than 24 hours.

We’re already planning to make them again this weekend. Yum!
