    Lemon brownie made from a gluten-free recipe

    Ingredients

    • Gluten-Free Flour: My favorite gluten-free & dairy-free flour blends to use are Pamela’s Artisan Blend and Better Batter. I’ve been using them both with great results. They are both a 1-1 substitute. If you use another gluten-free flour be sure that it contains xanthan gum. If not, add 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour.
    • Avocado oil – this is a very mild-tasting oil.
    • Lemon juice: two lemons should give you enough juice and zest for this recipe.
    • Lemon zest
    • sugar, eggs, almond milk, baking soda, salt, and confectioner’s sugar

    Instructions

    Mixing bowl with ingredients for lemon brownies.

    Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

    In a medium bowl, add all the brownie ingredients and mix thoroughly.

        You could try using flax meal to make flax eggs. “How to Make Flax Eggs”
