These are really delicious, with slight modifications. The amount of chocolate and the salt ratio is a bit off - they are not very chocolatey, but they are salty. I doubled the amount of chocolate, to 4 oz, and they are ridiculously good. My husband (who doesn't eat GF) and I ate the whole pan pretty much in one night. Thanks for sharing.

The finished product tasted alright but not what I think of when brownies come to mind. They were cake like and dry. The volume of batter this recipe makes isn't very much and when baked (in an 8x8 pan) the batch is only about 1/2 an inch thick. I checked them @ 20 mins and were already baked and pulled away from the sides of the pan. The end result was disappointing after reading duonyte's review. Used 2 lg eggs and 2 ounces of my Callebaut bittersweet chocolate. I really wanted to love this but it's the first time I have ever used rice flour and perhaps I just didn't know what to expect.

This recipe saved me at work today. The picture isn't the greatest but they all were eaten and raved about. Even the non GF people loved them. I needed a GF dessert for a luncheon and we didn't have anything. I searched the internet and ran across this recipe...I had all the ingredients, so it was the one for me and lucky for me it's an excellent one. I used the cocoa powder and oil version and I had to times the recipe by 4 for the amount I needed.... and they came out perfectly. I didn't think to take a picture before they were cut but they looked great....one end I squashed and that's the end I have a picture of, of course lol thank you so much for saving our luncheon!

I put cocoa and peanut butter because we have no chocolate chips, hope it's good

Concerned about the lack of gluten, I quadrupled the baking powder (2 tsp) to get a nice rise. Spiked recipe with black salt, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, orange oil. Instead of 1 c sugar, used 1/2 c turbinado sugar and 1/2 c honey for a tad more moisture given prior reviewer's note on dryness. Roasted pecans and added those. I love the result.
