    Tips to Consider!

    Tip 1: Pay attention! If you are following a gluten-free diet, then using gluten-free old-fashioned oats is a must!

    Tip 2: For this recipe, I prefer using almond butter (or cashew butter) over peanut butter. Although they both work just fine, I would rather infuse my brownies with a rich chocolaty taste than a peanut butter one.

    Tip 3: If you are allergic to nut butters (almond and peanut butters), then substitute them with the same amount of WOWBUTTER or sun butter, or mashed banana or avocado.

      These are the best brownies I have ever tasted! No one believed they were gluten free. Great recipe and super easy. I followed the recipe as written and added walnuts. Will never buy a box mix again!

      Mine is still completely runny after 40 mins
      Not sure where I went wrong? I added an egg for fluffyness?

        Hi, no need for the addition of the egg since that counts as a liquid. That could be the problem. I suggest to follow the recipe as is 🙂 Try keeping it in the oven for longer t o see if it will cook.
