Vegan Gluten Free Brownies? Is that Impossible? Find out!

Vegan, gluten free brownies are possible and easy!

This recipe was modified from the "Babycakes" recipe that I first heard about from watching Martha Stewart about 4 years ago. I modified it to make it simplified and faster to make by consolidating all of the different flours, powders and gums. Use the gluten free flour mix that I describe under "Breads and Baking" as it will contain the starches and xanthum gum that is needed when baking GF. Time is always at a premium!

1 cup of vegan mini chocolate chips (see notes)

   liners.
2. Whisk together flour through cocoa powder and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix oil, applesauce, and vanilla.
