Ultimate Double Chocolate Gluten Free Brownies

These gluten free brownies contain two kinds of chocolate and are rich and delicious.

I talked recently about how gluten free recipes can and should taste great. And I totally believe that. Just because it is gluten free does not mean that we should have to sacrifice taste. Gluten free can taste as good as the real thing and these brownies are proof of that.

This gluten free brownie recipe is adapted from an old Taste of Home Recipe for Ultimate Double Chocolate Brownies. Now these brownies were really good, but I think they are in the same category of my ultimate gluten free chocolate chip cookie. In other words I am hesitant to call anything the ultimate recipe. But since that was the title of the original recipe I am sticking with it.

Besides the gluten free part I did change one other thing on this recipe. I reduced the sugar. The original recipe called for 2 cups of sugar and I thought that could easily be cut back and work fine. And it did. I cut the sugar back and could not tell a difference at all.

The original recipe also called for nuts. Since my family can’t have nuts I left them out, but if you can have nuts stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and these will be even better.
