Last week I found this recipe for Nutella brownies on A Cup of Jo, and I absolutely had to make them. Immediately. Although I wanted a gluten-free option, naturally.
My version of these gluten-free Nutella brownies is incredibly simple (we're talking 15 minutes to whip up a batch, baking time included). They are moist and yummy, as opposed to dry and having a faint hint of grass that is common to many gluten-free baked goods. Whether you eat gluten or not, these brownies will be your (somewhat) healthy go-to for a sugar fix.
Ingredients:1 cup Nutella
2 eggs
1 cup almond meal
1/2 tsp xantham gum (you can find this at any health food store)
Directions:
In a medium sized bowl, mix the Nutella and eggs with a whisk until they are thoroughly mixed together. Slowly add in the almond meal, stirring as you pour it in, and then add the xantham gum. Fill your well-greased muffin tins three-quarters full, and bake at 375 °F for 10 minutes, or until the tops start to slightly crack. Yields 6 muffins. (To fill a 12 count muffin tin, simply double the above recipe.) Pour yourself a big glass of milk and enjoy that chocolatey, hazelnut goodness!
