Orange Almond Gluten Free Brownies

Yields9 ServingsDifficultyIntermediate

Nutrition Tidbit from Audrey
There are many people who have an intolerance to gluten and a small number who have an allergy to it. However, if it does not make you feel your best, don’t eat it, whether you have an allergy or not. These brownies are a great substitute and once you have all the ingredients on hand they are easy to whip up a batch. Be careful that you do not think gluten free is the same as calorie free. It is not, so enjoy these delicious brownies but enjoy them as a treat.

 ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum
1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees if using a convection oven, 350 if a regular oven.

Mix until all ingredients are blended.
