Not long ago, I was asked to bring something that was gluten-free to a special event. Luckily, I had a package of Mightylicious Vegan Chocolate Brownie Mix that I was intending to try. I received the brownie mix along with special gluten-free flour. I wasn’t ready to try the flour but this was the perfect time to see if the brownies were as good as promised. (Spoiler alert: The brownies were so good, I purchased four addition packages of the brownie mix).
I began by gathering the items the recipe required:
Vegan yogurt, Vegan butter or coconut oil, Vanilla extract, Chocolate chips or nuts
And then I proceeded.
I started with the yogurt and added the melted butter and the vanilla extract.
Then I opened the package of the Vegan Chocolate Brownie Mix and mixed it all together. The chocolate chips were mixed in. I decided not to use the nuts because some of the people at the event were allergic to nuts.
Now that the mixture was complete, it was ready to be placed in a pan lined with parchment paper and moved into the pre-heated oven (375 degree) for about 25 minutes. I could not wait to find out how the brownies would taste.
I watched carefully, not wanting to overbake or burn the brownies. When they began to smell delicious, I looked at them and decided to remove them from the oven. I let them cool just a little and cut the into pieces that were small because they needed to serve a large group of people. And many people enjoyed the brownies and wanted the recipe.
How did Mightylicious come about?
In 2012 Carolyn was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. As a cookie-lover, she spent years seeking out gluten-free cookie brands. Then, while waiting in line holiday shopping, she bought a gluten-free cookie that crumbled entirely after one bite. That’s when she realized there had to be another way.
Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Carolyn resolved to design a cookie that was gluten-free, healthy, and tasty. This recipe led to the first Mightylicious cookie! Today, Mightylicious cookies are sold online and in-stores and the line has expanded from 3 flavors to seven, including two vegan options.
Carolyn, who is a celiac sufferer, quit her 6-figure job to create MIGHTYLICIOUS after searching for a good-tasting GF cookie. All of them crumbled in her hands. After lots of trial and error – many many months in the kitchen – she finally came up with the perfect recipe for GF cookies. After much success, the creation of the GF flour blends was a natural line extension………people who are GF can now bake their favorite cakes, breads, brownies, etc., with the help of the best GF flour from MIGHTYLICIOUS.

“At Mightylicious, we understand gluten free baking because our founder, Carolyn does it every day. We’ve harnessed her knowledge to bring you our most innovative product to date – flour.
So, let’s get real for a moment. Rice flour isn’t milled for baking making it too course and gritty for most recipes. Many other brands attempt to correct this by introducing ancient grains like sorghum, amaranth, and garbanzo flour. While we like these grains for cooking, they introduce noticeable flavors and textures that aren’t palatable in baking.
“At Mightylicious, we understand that a cookie should taste like a cookie, and cake should taste like CAKE. So, we’ve partnered with the mills to produce the highest quality, super-fine rice flour possible. This allows our baking mixes to have a soft airy texture and neutral flavor profile so you can use it in all your favorite recipes without altering the taste. Cookies, cakes, pies, bread, muffins, gravy, and sauces – there’s really no limit. It’s Mightylicious for a reason.”- From the back of the Vegan Chocolate Brownie Mix bag.
Happy baking everyone!
