The Best Gluten Free brownies


Dan's grandma has the best brownie recipe. It was one of the things I was super sad about losing. However, after 4 attempts I think I got it down gluten free. You can use the recipe for any brownie base but my favorite is pecans.
There are a couple of tricks to the recipe. I'll go over them in the instructions.

These were so good I even liked tasting the batter. I took them to the super bowl party last night and didn't let anyone know they were gluten free till they were practically gone. People were shocked!



Here are the ingredients
2oz square unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
4 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
2cups sugar
1cup Bob's all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups of nuts (optional, you Can use any thing you like In your brownies really)

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350° f
2. Melt chocolate and butter in a small saucepan on low. Stir occasionally.
3. While chocolate is melting beat eggs and salt slightly. Slowly pour in sugar. On medium beat sugar and eggs till the color lightens and the mixture is thickened usually about 5 minutes.  I'll show a picture of what it should look like below. 
4. Add in the chocolate mixture. Mix until blended. 
5. Slowly add in the flour and vanilla mix
6. Add in nuts.
7. Grease a 13 by 9 dark pan. Pour in mixture.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Make sure a toothpick comes out clean.
9. The hardest part is to let cool for 30 minutes before cutting.

The process sounds hard but trust me if I can do it any one can.
