Brownie in a Jar
This gluten-free and dairy-free brownie mix in a jar is the perfect DIY gift for friends, family, and coworkers. Simply layer the dry ingredients in a jar and provide a label with the instructions.With holidays quickly approaching, gifts are on everyone’s mind. If you’re like me and love adding that thoughtful homemade touch, this brownie in a jar is a perfect option. The jar is festive, pretty, and the brownies taste delicious! The recipe I used is allergen friendly, but this method will work for any recipe you prefer.This gift is very easy to prepare: simply pour the dry ingredients into the mason jar in layers. I started with the almond flour, then followed with baking powder, sea salt, cacao powder, coconut sugar, and dairy free chocolate chips! Once the ingredients are in the jar, add a ribbon and attach a label with baking instructions. Because the jar only contains dry ingredients, the jar recipient will need to add a few of their own ingredients prior to baking. Make sure you list out what is needed to make this recipe along with baking instructions. I also like to list out the ingredients included in the jar for reference!
