  • Muffin tins or a 9 x 6 inch ceramic baking dish is the perfect size for these gluten-free brownies.
  • For extra gooey brownies, bake for 3 to 5 minutes less than the recommended baking time.
  • Avoid using instant coffee in the coffee-infused frosting.

Muffin tins or a small ceramic dish work best for this recipe.

This small batch of gluten-free brownies was the perfect size for us and barely lasted us two days (because they were so good!).

If you have one available to you, a small ceramic baking dish is the perfect size for this small brownie batch (8.5-x-6-inch). The one I have came in a set of three from Crate and Barrel, and this is the smallest size of the set. It worked like a dream. Since, it’s just my husband and me at home, we don’t need a lot of dessert sitting around the house.

You’re also welcome to use a muffin pan for this recipe. You’ll use about 6 or 7 tins. Just be sure to grease the pan before putting the batter inside. The baking time will be slightly lowered in the muffin tins.

For gooey brownies, bake for a few minutes less than the recommended baking time.

For those of you who enjoy gooey brownies, simply lessen the recommended baking temperature by about 3 to 5 minutes. This will give your brownies a fudge, gooey texture that’s irresistible.

If using the muffin tins, bake the brownie muffins for about 18 minutes. If using a small baking dish, 20 to 23 minutes should do the trick.

Use coffee that you would drink for the coffee frosting, doesn’t need to be instant.

To top off these fudge brownies, I’ve included a coffee-infused chocolate frosting recipe to go on top of these brownies.

I recommend using coffee that you have leftover from the morning. There’s no need to brew a fresh batch unless you’re completely out.

I also would advise against using instant coffee for the frosting simply because it imparts a certain taste that I don’t love for these brownies.

Most of us only meet wine once it’s already in t Most of us only meet wine once it’s already in the bottle.

But during harvest, even something as simple as leaves making it through sorting can affect what eventually ends up in your glass.

At @hawkinscellars, I got a closer look at how many small decisions happen before a bottle ever reaches the table.

It’s the kind of detail you don’t see on the label.

I’ve spent the past year studying wine, but actu I’ve spent the past year studying wine, but actually getting my hands on the grapes was a completely different experience.

We tasted Pinot Noir that was still too acidic and “green,” which meant it needed a few more days on the vine. I knew harvest timing mattered, but actually tasting a grape that wasn’t ready yet made it click.

Then I spent a few hours sorting Grenache, pulling out leaves and anything else that shouldn’t make it into the wine. Thane told us the grapes were exceptionally clean, which I learned isn’t always the case.

I also finally got to watch a “mini punch-down” after reading about them in wine textbooks for the past year.

And now I’m hoping this story gets one more chapter. If Hawkins bottles the Grenache as a single-varietal wine, I may eventually get to taste a wine made from grapes I helped sort.

If you could spend a day behind the scenes at a winery, what would you want to see?

Fall cocktail menus are shifting, and some longtim Fall cocktail menus are shifting, and some longtime favorites aren’t getting the same love behind the bar.

I spoke with three bartenders about what they’re excited to pour this season and what they’re ready to leave behind.

One trend gaining ground? Savory cocktails, with unexpected ingredients making their way into the glass.

But that’s only one side of what’s changing behind the bar this fall.

I broke down 5 trends that are in and 5 that are out this season for Business Insider.
