I stopped at a little cafe in London the other day (still on my travels) and ate one of the most delicious brownies I’ve ever eaten. They told me it was gluten-free because the only “flour” that they’d used was almond meal. So, as soon as I got back to my Mom’s cottage I started experimenting. The results are fantastic.Keep in mind that they won’t rise as much as a regular Brownie, so they are flatter, but nonetheless, just as delicious. Actually I prefer them to a normal flour, dairy and sugar brownie because they are so moist and crumbly.
