When our family celebrates Thanksgiving, Christmas—and any holiday really—we like to have an assortment of desserts, including these gluten-free Honey Bear Brownies. There’s no doubt that piestake center stage, but there’s also a need for chocolate in some form.

Yes, there are sometimes chocolate pies. My Crustless Fudge Pie sometimes makes an appearance. And this year my latest pie success—Chocolate Silk Pie—will definitely be on the dessert sideboard. But chocolate typically is presented in non-pie form for our holiday events.

It’s always available in chocolate chips (or chunks) in my Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies—by far the most requested dessert of mine by my family … no matter what the occasion. But occasionally, the standby chocolate classic—the brownie—shows up. The appearance ofa plate of these gluten-free Honey Bear Brownies—perhaps on an elegantcake plate-–just adds to the special event/celebration effect.

I pulled out the gluten-fullHoney Bear Brownies recipe, a family favorite from long ago, the other day. I re-created it to be gluten free and made it a bit healthier at the same time. The results were far better than the original brownie!

In keeping with my longstanding gfe focus on no flour/less flour to make the other ingredients stand out and allow gluten-free recipes to be made more easily and even economically, this recipe calls for only1/2 cup of flour.

Another bonus … this recipe calls for ingredients one always has in the pantry, so it can be made any time. You get a craving for brownies and about 25 minutes later you have these gluten-free Honey Bear Brownies. Life is good!

Now you may be wondering … are they cake brownies? chewy brownies? or fudgy brownies? Well, you know me and semantics and struggling on making such a tough decision … I think they fit all three categories!

Last, this recipe is my entry for this month’s Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten Free!. This monthly event was created by our sweet friend across the pond, Naomi of Straight Into Bed Cakefree and Dried.

Each month a different blogger hosts by choosing a theme and sharing the roundup. This month’s host appropriately chose Thanksgiving dishes. ButI won’t tell anyone if you decide you need to make these gluten-free Honeybear Browniesbefore Thanksgiving. One has to ensure that desserts are worthy enough for one’s guests after all!
