Ironically I too have been craving brownies and just made two batches of gluten free brownies, one for me and the other for a 4th of July party. I must say it is the best batch I have ever made in spite of reducing the sugar amount the recipe called for by 1/2. I also tweaked the recipe by adding my own B2B 80% chocolate in addition to the cocoa powder the recipe called for. Perfect texture; chewy and dense but light.

I love your suggestions for additions and inclusions and will definitely try adding something different on the next batch.

Thank you Lauren!

Sounds delicious Esa! I love that it came out as your best batch ever; I'm definitely on team chewy!

Thanks so much for the delicious ideas! I make brownies often and these ideas will be fun to experiment with. I also grow and dry a lot of mint. I’ve found the dried mint sprinkled into the batter will give a nice light minty flavour to the brownies too. It’s great how chocolate can allow for so many flavours to work well with it.

Fun idea Nicole! So many ways to further riff on your concept, basil and candied oranges, tarragon and white chocolate brownies? Here's to many more experiments!

At home we make brownies with hemp protein as replacement for flour, and with MAYANA® 100% dark chocolate. They are moist and simply delicious. My kids would love to eat the whole batch the same day lol

By the way, In México sleepover is actually called “pijamada” :)

Oooo, this is a great substitute! I think pea protein would be interesting to replace or blend as well. Thank you for the Spanish word help :)
