Brownies are just one of those desserts you need to eat fresh from the oven (or microwave). Slightly gooey and moist with a rich chocolatey flavor are a must with brownies. This is a perfect 'no bake' summer treat when you don't want to turn on your oven. And it was a perfect little indulgence for me after watching the kids alone while my husband worked a 3 day weekend.
Do you remember gluten free pancakes gave me the confidence to create this blog and keep me and my family from starving? Well, my first (and worst ever) epic fail came in the form of gluten free egg free brownies. It was a bubbling oil slick of a mess that would never seem to set.
Fast forward to today and this recipe. No egg is required and you could be enjoying this in just 2 minutes. If you don't have maple syrup on hand just use regular sugar. I've included 2 delicious ways to enjoy this. Make one large brownie for yourself in a mug or share by splitting the batter in half and pouring into cupcake liners inside a mug. Either way you make it, it'll be g.o.n.e.
This recipe is also super awesome since not everyone in the family is allergic to wheat. Make someone you love their own special brownie! I actually saved the other one from this recipe and ate the next day, still good. :-)
