Gluten free chocolate raspberry brownies are my latest obsession as they are so easy to make and they taste amazing!
Not only are they gluten free, but they are also dairy free and refined sugar free with a small amount of maple syrup added.
I like to bake a batch and store them in my freezer, so I can warm a piece up in the microwave to have for afternoon tea. They would also be great to serve to guests for morning or afternoon tea.
Raspberries are one of my favourite fruits and they have so many health benefits.

RECIPE TIPS & FAQS
Make sure the eggs have been kept at room temperature before using and are not cold. The mixture will mix more evenly and you will get more volume. If you are ever wondering why your baked desserts look flat then this could be the reason.
When the raspberry brownies are super warm they may break apart easily. So I recommend allowing them to cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes and then on a wire rack for a further 15-20 minutes.
You can store in your fridge for 4-5 days or in your freezer for 3 months when stored correctly.
