• these brownies they cut best when they are cold
• can easily be a nut free brownie by omitting the nuts
• for cake-like brownies, simply add one more egg

I saw a version of these on Elana's Pantry, and there was a link to the Gluten Free Fix, I used a combination of both of them.  I love the use of real butter, but I love the more vanilla as well.  These are not to dense, and not to cakey either, just perfect.  My husband viewed them with wary eyes, and has not tried them.  I took them to work though and tested them out on two co-workers, one is Celiac and the other is not.  Both of them love these brownies!  I used the Ghiradelli chocolate, the higher amount of cocoa so that these were very rich in chocolate flavor.

I had to use the nutrition facts from Bob's Red Mill Coconut flour instead of my usual Tropical Traditions, Livestrong (which is where I got the nutritional info from) did not have that brand listed. Not very healthy, but very good.  If I'm going to have something delicious I will have these.  My chocolate fix is complete with these, I'm not looking for anything else to satisfy that craving.  I hope you enjoy these, or make the changes to fit your needs.
