When it comes to sweet comfort food our go to is brownies and I’m sure we’re not alone! There is no shortage of brownie recipes on our site. Some are healthy, some a little naughty but they’re all built around the idea of being chocolatey and gooey.

We’ve kept these ones gluten free by using almond flour and used some natural sweeteners alongside the chocolate chips. Prep time is short, around 15 minutes and baking time around 20.
