The Recipe How-To
Now comes the most interesting part – how to create these delectable gluten free brownies! Our recipe makes fudgy and rich chocolate brownies, which are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Ingredients
To make these wonderful brownies, you will need the following ingredients:
– ¾ cup of unsalted butter, melted
– 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
– ¾ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
– 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs, at room temperature
– ½ cup of gluten-free flour (I recommend using a blend of tapioca flour, cornstarch, and guar gum)
– 2/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- The first step is to preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a square 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add the melted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder and salt together. Mix gently until everything is combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract followed by the eggs, one at a time. Mix each egg into the batter before adding another.
- Add the gluten-free flour into the mixing bowl and whisk until everything is combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to make for an even richer chocolate flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies cool in pan like it is for around ten minutes before transferring them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for perfect results
To ensure that your gluten-free brownies turn out just right every time, here are some tips for perfect results:
– Use room temperature eggs, as cold eggs may cause the butter to solidify.
– Use parchment paper in the baking pan to avoid sticking and make it easy to transfer the brownies out of the pan.
– Do not overmix the flour into the batter. Over mixing flour can cause the brownies to become too dense and not rise enough.
– Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into portions. This will help in getting more defined edges on your brownie pieces.
In no time at all, you’ll have made some of the most scrumptious brownies ever tasted!
Substitutions and Variations
My dearest readers, fear not if some of the listed ingredients in this gluten-free brownie recipe are not available in your pantry. Do not feel limited by the ingredient list as this recipe has many possible substitutions and variations.
For a dairy-free option, replace the butter with an equal amount of coconut oil. Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe lactose-free.
For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with two mashed ripe avocados or use an egg replacer that suits your preferences.
If you prefer a gooey brownie, reduce the gluten-free flour or add half a teaspoon of guar gum to make the texture fudgier.
For a salted caramel brownie variation, mix ⅓ cup of melted salted butter into the batter before baking. The combination of sweet and salty flavors will delight your taste buds.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, from bittersweet to semi-sweet to sweet chocolate chips. Mix up the ratios depending on which flavor you prefer. Add nuts or dried fruit for some extra crunch and texture.
With all these possibilities, you now have the freedom to create your very own perfect brownie recipe – one that satisfies your cravings and suits your dietary preferences.
Until next time, happy baking!
Serving and Pairing
Dearest reader, now that you have prepared these delectable fudgy gluten-free brownies, it’s time to serve and pair them with some delightful accompaniments. These brownies can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference. You can dust some icing sugar or cocoa powder on top of the brownies for a beautiful and mouth-watering presentation.
If you are in the mood for an indulgent treat, I suggest pairing these brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The coldness of the ice cream complements the rich and dense texture of the brownies perfectly, and the sweetness balances out the bitterness of dark chocolate.
For tea time, a cup of strong coffee or tea would be an excellent pairing option. The flavors of coffee work well with chocolate, making it a match made in heaven. A cup of Earl Grey tea with a slice of this ultimate gluten-free brownie is also a great option.
If you want to add some variety to your plate, you can serve these brownies along with fresh blueberries or strawberries. The sweet tanginess of berries provides a refreshing contrast to the decadent flavor profile of the fudgy gluten-free brownies.
Lastly, if you are looking for a vegan option, try serving these brownies with sliced avocado on top. It may sound unusual but trust me; it tastes heavenly! The thick and gooey texture of avocado pairs beautifully with these fudgy gluten-free brownies, making this combination unique and unforgettable.
I hope these suggestions have inspired you to try different serving and pairing options for these delicious fudgy gluten-free brownies. Enjoy!
Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
Dear readers,
As you take a bite of these delectable gluten-free brownies, you might be wondering how to store them and possibly make them ahead to save time when entertaining guests. Luckily, these brownies are versatile and easy to store without losing their delicious flavors.
To make-ahead, allow the brownies to cool completely after baking. You can store them in an airtight container or wrap them carefully with plastic wrap, then keep in the freezer for up to a month. When ready to serve, simply thaw the brownies at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
If you prefer reheating your treats, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the desired amount of brownies out of the freezer and let them thaw until they reach room temperature. Then, reheat them in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until they become warm and gooey again. You can also microwave individual portions for about 15-20 seconds before serving.
These brownies also store well at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap or an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
For variation, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the brownies or add some chocolate or salted caramel sauce before reheating. These tasty additions will take these fudgy gluten-free brownies to another level of yumminess.
Enjoy these delightful sweet treats without fuss over time-consuming prepping as they’re easily stored and reheated. Satisfy your sweet cravings anytime you like by making these ahead and enjoy with no worries!

Tips for Perfect Results
Gluten-free baking can be tricky, but with these tips, you can achieve perfectly fudgy and delicious brownies every time.
Firstly, make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This will help them whip up better and create a lighter texture in the brownies. If you forget to take them out of the fridge beforehand, simply place them in warm water for a few minutes to bring them to room temperature.
Next, use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for bittersweet or semisweet chocolate that is labeled gluten-free. You can also use dairy-free chocolate if you prefer or if you have a lactose intolerance.
Adding chocolate chips to the batter is a great way to give the brownies some extra oomph. However, don’t overmix the batter after adding the chips as it can cause the brownies to become dry and tough.
When it comes to baking times, it’s better to err on the side of underbaking rather than overbaking gluten-free brownies. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly brownies. Keep an eye on them and remove from the oven when they are just set but still have a slight jiggle in the middle.
Finally, let your brownies cool completely before cutting into them. Gluten-free baked goods tend to be more delicate and crumbly when warm, so allowing them to cool ensures that they hold together better.
Follow these tips for ultimate gluten-free brownie success every time!
