Yay for you, Trader Joes.

Trader Joes has GF baking ish now. It all started with some pancake/ waffle mix (which I tried and it was very good! It can double as GF flour for cakes and cookies, too) and I noticed last week that they now have brownie mix.

I gave the brownies a shot- added some extra chocolate chips and walnuts, but it was still lacking in the taste department. Maybe it was because I used applesauce instead of oil, but there just wasn't a depth of flavor. They just weren't chocolately enough. I'm sure it could be remedied by adding more cocoa, and I think I will give that a try next time around.

They did have a really great, chewy texture. The edges got crispy and caramelized...the best part of a brownie in my opinion. And if you're like me, you will appreciate this brownie pan which can be found at Fredflare.com:
