"WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT" BROWNIES!



These are absolutely the chewiest, moistest, fudgiest brownies ever! I have tried adding so many different things to the batter, and they ALWAYS comes out great. They are also great without ANY add-ins! BUT by varying the add-ins, you can make different brownies every week (or day!!) SUPER EASY PREP! So, add "whatever floats your boat" and you will not believe how yummy they come out :) Oh, and the recipe doubles just fine--use a 9 x 13 inch pan instead and add a few more minutes of baking!

GLUTEN-FREE "WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT" BROWNIES!



Gluten-Free

This is a gluten free adaptation of Karen's WFYB Brownies (#32204). Gluten-free flour tends to make baked products drier. These were THE BEST gluten free brownies I've ever had. They're chewy, moist, and fudgy. As per Karen, the recipe doubles just fine - use a 9 x 13 inch pan instead and add a few more minutes of baking.
