There’s something magical about a warm, rich brownie — especially when it’s gluten-free and still tastes every bit as indulgent. These brownies are fudgy in the center, with a crackly top and deep chocolate flavor. Whether you’re gluten-sensitive or just looking to bake a treat everyone can enjoy, this recipe proves that you don’t need gluten to create bakery-worthy brownies.
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum, or add 1/4 tsp if not included)
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or more chocolate chips for topping
-
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let cool slightly.
-
Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
-
Sift in the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently mix until just combined — don’t overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with nuts or extra chips if desired.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Let cool completely before slicing (if you can wait!).
-
Tips:
-
For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them and chill before cutting.
-
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
