These extra fudgy Gluten Free Brownies just might be the perfect dessert. Filled with cocoa powder and chocolate chips, these brownies boast crispy, chewy edges and a super fudgy chocolate centre.
Brownies for everybody! 👊🏻
Here are my easy peasy, super fudgy, downright irresistible, double chocolate, gluten free BROWNIES! Outrageously gooey, spectacularly sweet and a cinch to make.
What more could you want in life? These chocolate fudge brownies are a total lifesaver.
I often describe myself to others as a traditional baker. I like to bake with butter and flour and sugar. I don’t deal well with fads or substitutes, even if they do taste exactly the same.
I like my baked goods how they’ve were baked back in the old days. With fat and sugar and lots and lots of love.
I can’t ignore the fact though, that food intolerances are becoming more and more common and I still want to be able to make dessert for my celiac friends and family.
So while gluten free baking is not my strong suit, I wanted to learn how to make a mean gluten free brownie. One that both you and I could have up our sleeve in case we need to bake something gluten free stat.
So the question is, can you make a delicious brownie using gluten-free flour? Yes. You. Can.
And this is what it looks like 👇🏻 Isn’t she pretty?
This easy fudgy gluten free brownie has ALL the brownie magic. Crinkly top – check. Chewy edges – check. Gooey middle – check, check, check.
This is an easy mix and stir recipe using cocoa powder as the base. When I was recipe testing, I discovered that gluten free flour isn’t as porous as regular flour, so making a brownie with a melted chocolate base resulted in a brownie that was too wet. Switching to cocoa powder was perfect.
I then loaded the batter with chunky chocolate chips for a little extra chocolate magic. All in all, this brownie is delicious and you can’t even tell she’s gluten free! #missionaccomplished

Let's Bake
Easy Fudgy Gluten Free Brownies
Easy gluten free chocolate brownies with a crinkly top and gooey middle.
Ingredients
- 170 grams (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams (1 cup) caster sugar
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 40 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
- 70 grams (1/2 cup) gluten free (all purpose) plain flour*
- 75 grams milk or dark chocolate chips*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square baking tin with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang.
- In a large mixing bowl, add melted butter and sugars and gently whisk together. Add vanilla extract and stir.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring in-between, then sift in the cocoa powder and flour. Stir until just combined. Add chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter in the prepared tin and place in the oven. Bake brownies for approximately 30-35 minutes or until they no longer wobble in the middle.
- Leave in tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. These brownies are quite fragile so if you can, transfer to the fridge for an hour before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
*I’m aware that gluten free flour may vary country to country, the one I used was White Wings All Purpose Gluten Free flour.
*Check these are gluten free if you are making this for someone who is celiac.

Made these last evening just “ because”.I’m not a baker and have never ever made brownies ( though I love them).These are divine and way too moreish. Can you tell me how to freeze them please otherwise I’ll just devour them . # lol.
Jessica Holmes says
So glad you enjoyed them Jean! You can definitely freeze them. Just cut them into squares and wrap them in plastic wrap. To enjoy, you can leave them to thaw or heat them briefly in the microwave. Hope that helps!

How many brownies does this make exactly?
Jessica Holmes says
It makes an 8×8 inch pan, I usually get 12 brownies out of it – of course it depends how big you want to make your brownies!
Danielle says
Hi do you use just gluten free plain flour or do you add baking powder ? Thanks
Jessica Holmes says
That’s right Danielle, just gluten free plain flour. There’s no baking powder in this recipe.

Jessica Holmes says
Love hearing that Lorna!
Elizabeth says
Made these for work for morning tea. They were so good. I think if I make them again I might add some macadamias or desiccated coconut. The choc chips were good, but I like some more chunks in my brownies than what was provided. Still really exceptional, gonna save this recipe for future use!
Jessica Holmes says
So glad to hear that Elizabeth! And add macadamias or coconut sounds divine!
Krista says
This is the first gluten free item I have baked that is absolutely delicious. I recently had to start eating gluten free and have been disappointed by every baking recipe except for this one. My partner and son said it’s the most delicious brownie they have ever had so we now have a new “go to” brownie recipe that I can enjoy along with my family.

Jessica Holmes says
Aw love hearing that Krista! So glad you and your family enjoyed them!
Lauren says
what size baking pan did you use?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Lauren, I use an 8-inch square pan for this recipe.
Mei says
Can I use almond flour with the same proportions as the gluten free flour here?
Jessica Holmes says
I’m sorry I haven’t tested this recipe with almond flour so I can’t say.
Vanya says
THANKS! These went down a treat. I made them the morning of an event so no time for mistakes. I’m not used to making brownies so I was suspect of the high butter to low flour ratio. But I clearly had no reason to worry. The brownies were brilliant and were a massive hit at the party.
★★★★★
Jessica Holmes says
Glad to hear that Vanya!
Beck says
Just as a note, cocoa powder can also contain hidden glutens so best people check those out too.
Lovely recipe!!
