Gluten Free Fudgy Brownies
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine.
We recently received a box of holiday goodies from our friends which included brownies that were not gluten-free. After drooling over them for quite some time, I got to thinking how much I really missed brownies. They looked Fudgy and tempting but I gave them away to family who gladly gobbled them up and got to work in my kitchen.
Fudgy brownies are my weakness! I used to love making them for the holidays and sharing them with my family and friends. But I stopped making them from scratch after I started eating gluten-free. I’m not really sure why because they aren’t that hard to make. Also, iIf you don’t mention that these brownies are grain-free, I promise you no one will know the difference. They are so decadent and rich, you’ll want to snuggle up by the fire with one in hand and a hot cup of coffee.
Some of the core ingredients that make these brownies really amazing are the Open Nature® Superfine Almond flour that creates a texture close to regular flour, the plain unsweetened O Organics® Coconut milk that’s smooth and creamy and the rich, sweet Signature Select™ Clover Honey.
It’s hard to find products free from unnecessary additives like preservatives and other questionable ingredients. That’s why I like Safeway’s Open Nature and O Organics lines, I spend less time having to read labels which makes my shopping experience less stressful. Plus the quality of these products really help this recipe stand out and even help to keep it gluten and grain-free!
Safeway has been such a lifesaver as they offer so many gluten-free, organic, paleo friendly and plant-based options at great prices! I also absolutely love being able to use their Grocery Delivery & DriveUp & Go™ services for contactless shopping. If you’re anything like me, you probably want to avoid having to go to the store and get your shopping done conveniently so you can spend more time relaxing with a brownie :)
I shopped at Safeway in my local area, but you can also find O Organics® and Open Nature® plant-based products at the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, ACME Markets, JewelOsco, Vons, Randalls, Shaw’s Supermarket, Star Market, and Tom Thumb.
