These brownies are quick to make with only eight simple ingredients, all of which you probably already have in your pantry. Besides, they are so much better for you then any box of brownie mix you have hidden in your kitchen cabinet.
If you’re not looking to avoid wheat, then go ahead and substitute the oat and almond flour for whole wheat flour, it’s that simple. If you do want to use oat and almond flour and don’t have any at home, it’s simple. Just drop same measurements of whole oats and almonds into a food processor, plus a little extra, and process until you get a fine, powder flour. That’s it.
So, what are you waiting for? Get up and start baking and be sure to savor every single bite!

They look good, and easy to make, too. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a Brownie making contest with a blindfold to see if you could tell the difference between the gluten -free v.s. the ones with flour?
