Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Brownies

Continuing my flourless obsession, meet the flourless brownie.  I'd like to just add that I had to make two pans of these back to back because the first pan of them disappeared so fast I couldn't photograph them.  With the second pan, I had to threaten lives not to touch them before I could take a picture. That worked but they didn't last long after that.

So, flourless desserts are yummy, easy to make, and gluten free.  I'd eat these even if they weren't gluten free.  The outside is very much like a normal flour type brownie but the middle is much softer. Sort of like eating a cookie straight out of the oven (but without all that pain).

This, being the third flourless recipe I've tried is not going to be the last.  I just love them.  Don't get me wrong, they aren't any healthier for you.  There is still sugar and butter in them.  But, sugar and butter mixed with chocolate equals deliciousness. :)
