Sometimes it can be tough coming up with good gluten free substitutes for your favorite treats.

I have had this recipe for gluten free brownies for years, and I have not found a better one.

However, I do prefer to make most of my gluten free stuff from scratch.

That way I can add the best ingredients–which makes a big difference.

I use good quality chocolate and real organic (grass fed) butter in these for the best results.

This brownie recipe draws rave reviews from those on a gluten free diet and even those who are not on a gluten free diet.

Try it and share some this weekend! Enjoy, guilt free. It’s ok to splurge once in a while!

1 80% cacao chocolate bar or 1 cup Ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips
