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 pan 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.

Yesss, so glad you loved them!
June Darmody says
Best Brownies I have eaten. Was a little dubious making them as every cafe in UK offers a brownie as only gf alternative, but I was really pleased how good these are. My daughter in law and grandson even asked if I had any instead of Christmas Pudding.
Jessica Holmes says
Love hearing that June! High praise indeed!
Kristin says
Absolutely delicious! Perfect mix and perfect texture and flavour… these did not last long before I had to make another batch 😍… followed the recipe exactly but left it in an extra 5 minutes because my oven always takes longer than recipes state.

Jessica Holmes says
Yes! Love hearing that Kristin! Appreciate the kind feedback.
Kate says
I was not a fan of these. There is nothing I love more than a fudgy brownie. Unfortunately, this recipe fell short of both. It was very cakey and the flavor was quite weak. 🙁

Wow sorry to hear that Kate.
Bravers says
The lowest flour content recipe I could find as I’m wheat intolerant as substituted gluten free flour for coconut flour. At last I can make and eat tasty brownies!

I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Lydia says
Why did mine come out as slop? Is it supposed to be only 70g of flour??
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Lydia, yes that’s right. Along with the cocoa, it should be just the right amount to still have a lovely fudgy centre. Different gluten free flours can vary though, so you could maybe try adding a touch more or bake your brownie for a few more minutes. Brownies also tend to firm up as they cool – popping them in the fridge can help too.
Morgan says
Used this recipe on multiple different occasions and always get comments on how you’d never know they were gluten free and how moist and yummy they are always have friends asking me to make them x

Jessica Holmes says
Yay! Love hearing that Morgan!
Brian says
Hi, will this work with plain flour too? Best brownie recipe as it is!!! I’m just curious.
Thanks
Jessica Holmes says
Yes it will!
Floss says
10/10, this recipe rocks! I have come back to it so many times and it never disappoints!
I’ve found you can be a little fast and loose with the measurements too, and the end results never seem to suffer for that little wine-addled devil-may-care style measuring. I’m baking a batch right now and I hope I get to eat one this time round, before they all magically disappear!
Thanks for sharing this heavenly recipe with us mere mortals!

Best brownies I’ve ever eaten. Best brownies my husband has ever eaten. Had to give away half to stop us devouring them in one go.
