Kayla Cappiello
Every blogger claims they've made the best gluten free brownies, but truly, these are the best gluten AND dairy free brownies specifically made with simple, good for you ingredients! First things first, this are not traditional brownies because they are made with sweet potato! I've also swapped the sweet potato for pumpkin or mashed bananas depending on what I'm in the mood for!
These gluten and dairy free brownies are fudgy, gooey and REALLY easy to make. This is a simple, easy, no fuss recipe that will curb your chocolate craving in 40 minutes!
