LOVE these brownies! I didn't think I would be able to make brownies from scratch without milk and eggs for my son. Got great reviews even from my family members that don't have food allergies.

Just found your blog and love your recipes. I have an online store for people battling food allergies and intolerances. One of the resources I provide my customers are new recipes to try at home. I feature recipe cookbook authors/bloggers with full credit given and links back to their sites. I also promote you via my press releases, newsletters and social media outlets. Please let me know if you would like to participate. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you! Not to be defeated by a batch of brownies, I made a second batch last night. Perfect! I think I probably beat them just a little more and I definitely made sure they were done before pulling them out of the oven. Taste fantastic and hold together perfectly.

Thanks again for all of the great allergy-free recipes. Meatloaf... that'll be next. :)

My husband weighed in on this one, and he agrees that some batches have been more crumbly than others. I'll have to do a more scientific evaluation of this, but my guess is that my less crumbly batches recently have been the ones I have been a little more aggressive on the final beating process. The beating causes gluten formation...usually not a good thing when making muffins or cupcakes, which is why those are mixed carefully...but in this case a little gluten-toughness allows them to stay together better. So I'd say try whisking the final batter a touch more, not beating the heck out of it or anything or you might have bricks, but just a touch more beating.

Hi again! We have been "speedbump kitchen-ing" again. :) I made these brownies last night and I have to tell you they taste better than any brownie I have ever had!!! Fantastic! One question, I made them in a 9 X 9 pan and they are really, REALLY crumbly. Do you have that problem with this recipe? Is it better to use a certain oil? I used canola.

Thanks, again. I've been following your site for a while now and have just been able to stock up on allergy-free ingredients and get some homemade baking done!

I just found your site - and I don't know how I have lived without it so far!! :-) Your recipes are wonderful! I wish I was that creative! I'm so impressed!

I am a fellow allergy mom....my son is 18 months old, allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts. It has been a very interesting road learning how to manage his allergies and still keep things as normal as possible - but SAFE! Many times I get the look of "how do you live without milk and eggs???" - which I hate! However, I calmly tell them that there of alternatives that are just as wonderful!

Anyway, I don't want to ramble. Just wanted to tell you that I love your blog!

love it!!! they're so cute!

These look fabulous. I'm so glad Dr. W gave me your website address today. My son, age 2, is allergic to egg, dairy and peanuts and our daugther, age 9 months, is very rashy and just had a horrible reaction to dairy a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for taking the time to post your recipes as we struggle to give our son a variety of good foods.
