Fudgier than what?
Well, more fudgy and with more pure chocolate flavor than the last brownie recipe I posted. No wonder they’re more chocolatey. I just clicked on the link as a reminder – this recipe has one ounce more unsweetened baking chocolate.
Instead of using Earth Balance I used canola oil. This lets the chocolate star in the brownie show. I love baking with Earth Balance. But in the previous brownie recipe, there was a hint of beurre noisette that seemed to compete with the chocolate.
Less baking powder means denser, fudgier, and less cake-like brownies. This is a great gluten free chocolate treat that anyone would enjoy.
