Almond flour and corn meal chocolate brownies
I say brownie and my boys say 'Yes' :D now who can resist a delicious brownie, I sure can't ;) what if I tell you this brownie is super delicious and super healthy! and and.. gluten free and diary free, yes they are so so good, you can never tell that it is with out any flour! Husband complimented saying that these brownies can be eaten without milk :) best compliment ever :D
I love experimenting with different kinds of flours, this one I wanted to try with corn meal, you can pick it up from any health store or even an Asian store in Ireland.
I am also entering the Health Bloggers Community Bake off! sounds crazy! I am not a much of a baker but a healthy competition is no harm isn't it? ;)
This recipe is my official entry to the competition. It is absolutely easy to make, my five year old boy helps me with it. All you need is mix the dry ingredients into a bowl and the wet one in another and mix the two together and bake for thirty mins and you have the most delicious tasting brownies ;)
