Notes

The batter for these dairy-free gluten-free brownies is THICK. You won’t be pouring it into the pan so much as scraping and dumping.
Use a spatula to press the gluten-free brownies into the bottom of the pan and even it out.
Do not slice the gluten-free brownies right out of the oven. Let them cool! They come out delicate.
The gluten-free brownie recipe needs to be stored in the fridge because of the eggs. However, serve them at room temperature.
Protein powder cannot be subbed in for the collagen.
Depending on the coconut oil you choose, there may be a slight coconut flavor to the chocolate drizzle (less processed coconut oils have a hint of coconut to them).
