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

PinDescription
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 160 C (320 F). Grease and line an 8 inch square baking tin with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang. In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and sugars and gently whisk together. Add the 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.

I’m a bit confused because, in the ingredients section, the cup servings in the brackets aren’t actually the same as the amount of grams so I accidentally put the wrong amount of sugar, flour and cocoa powder in my brownie. Hopefully they come out of the over tasting ok!!
Hi, I’m not exactly sure what you mean but feel free to email me at thesweetestmenu@gmail.com if you have any questions!
Just made these – I actually used gluten free coconut flour. Amazing recipe and so so tasty! Thanks for sharing! Jack
★★★★★
Thanks for sharing Jack! I’m glad they were still delicious using coconut flour – great idea! ☺️
The non celiacs loved it even more than the celiacs! Thanks for the recipe
★★★★★
Haha brilliant!!
These are so rich and delicious, best brownies i have ever had!
I decided to cut them into 16 squares instead on 12, because they are so fudgy and rich, and i sprinkled a little icing sugar on them to finish them off.
★★★★★
Aww so glad you enjoyed them Caitlin! ☺️
These were a huge hit at work! Best brownies I’ve had! thank you
★★★★★
Aww so glad to hear that Danielle!
A question, can you use white chocolate chips?
Both me and my sister are ceoliac, and i am soooo excited to try out this recipe.
Hi Caitlin, do you mean you’d like to add white chocolate chips to the batter? You certainly can! You’d just have to check the ingredients to make sure they’re gluten free but they would make these brownies next level ☺️
Thank you
I was only recently diagnosed, and even though i have grown up with my sister being celiac, am am still finding my way around. i LOVE cooking and baking, and i have ever since i was young. i wanted to do some baking these holidays, but i wasn’t allowed to get box mix, and my dad said, make them from scratch, and i found this recipe, and it sound deliciously amazing!
Aw yes! There are so many amazing gluten free baking recipes now! Some of my fave bloggers that do a lot of gf recipes you might like include Bakerita, Minimalist Baker and Gluten Free On A Shoestring. I hope you love the brownies! If you take a photo, don’t forget to show me on Instagram #sweetestmenu ☺️
Stunning! Just made them for my sons school “bake off”! I decided to enter the “free from class”. I cut them up into squares and added some glitter and carrots to
Make it look like a “veggie patch”. I licked the knife and OMG! It was stunning! Finger crossed the school think so to- I will let you know the outcome of the contest. It’s going to be tough – but I am sure to get something with these amazing beauties!
😉👍🏻

★★★★★
Amazing! Hope you love them. I don’t think I do have a GF cookie, so I’m writing this down and putting it on my recipe list ☺️
I have tried to make gluten free brownies quite a few times and it just never worked but now this will be my go to recipe!! The only issue is that i can’t stop eating them.
Thank you for the amazing recipe 🙂
★★★★★
Amazing! So glad you enjoyed them Eleanor! ☺️
thank you for sharing! question: can i still use regular flour, too?
Hi, this recipe was specifically tested with gluten free flour. My guess is regular flour would be fine but I haven’t tested it myself so I can’t guarantee results. However I have plenty of regular brownie recipes on the site to choose from ☺️
This brownie is incredible!
I made it twice for work and people were declaring that it was the best brownie they’d ever had!
Great for brownie-nosing your boss!
★★★★★
So glad you enjoyed them Hugo! What better way to win brownie points with the boss – love it! ☺️
Hi Jessica! Does this recipe works with rice flour? My son is not celiac but his Doctor recently found he has gluten intolerance. Thank you!
Hi Andreah, I haven’t tested this recipe with rice flour. But gluten free white flour works perfectly.
Thanks for the recipe – I’m a novice so I really appreciate the straightforward ingredients and instructions.
One confusing thing from the ingredients is that 1/2 cup is listed next to 3 different gram measurements (90g brown sugar, 40g cocoa powder, 70g GF plain flour). I’ll go with the gram measurements and see what happens.
Hi Veejay, thanks for your question. That’s correct, those three different ingredients weigh different amounts but each one will equal 1/2 cup. I hope that makes sense! But I always recommend using gram measurements when baking.
Best brownies I’ve ever made, really lush and indulgent. Served them last night as dessert for my dinner party and everyone loved them. My other half normally isn’t a fan of GF but she. Loved them, too. Your recipe is going into my personal collection for recipes. I used chopped dark and white chocolate and poured them on top (swirling some in with a fork) and it looked so good! Thanks for this great recipe.

Hi Sandra! Wow, what a lovely review! Thank you so much and I’m so pleased you enjoyed these brownies 💕

Hi Antony! I’m so pleased you enjoyed the brownies! Thanks for the lovely feedback ☺️
The recipe works well and this is going to be my go-to brownie recipe regardless if cooking for GF guests or not. It just works SO well – chewy edges and fudgy centre.
Made these last weekend for a family get together. Sister in Law needs GF and these were perfect. I served them cut up with raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar- looked fantastic 🙂
I adapted the recipe by using Aldi white and milk chocolate buttons instead of chocolate chips. I also placed 12 white bottons on top in rows after it came out of the oven so they melted and stuck to the top. When I cut it up there was one on each slice.
One of the tips says to cool in the fridge before slicing – definitly reccomend this as it is a fragile cake. I was a bit enthusiastic when I took the paerchment off the bottom and broke it a bit but it was fine really (icing sugar distracted from the ‘rustic look!)
Thanks for the lovely feedback Zoe! So glad you enjoyed these brownies and I love the idea of dusting with icing sugar and serving with raspberries – delish! X
Wonderful! I didn’t have all ingredients on hand, my changes were: no brown sugar so just used 1 & 1/2 cups cane sugar…no chocolate chips so I added an extra 2 TBS cocoa and 2 TBS sugar. And I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free flour. The brownies really hit the spot this evening! Thank you so much!!

Hi Autumn! So pleased you enjoyed these brownies! And thanks for letting us know your substitutions 😊

Thank you.
★★★★★
Hi Julia! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! So glad you enjoyed them ☺️
hi! this recipe looks yum! I have a question though, can you replace caster sugar with coconut sugar? thanks a lot! 🙂
Hi Bevs, sorry I haven’t tried this before so I can’t say for sure. If you do try it, let me know how it goes!
Love it soo easy to make and gluten free
★★★★★
So glad you liked it George!
Making this for the second time this month. Husband (non celiac but gluten free) loved them but didn’t like how all the chunks sank to the bottom. This time no chunks. Simple.
★★★★
So glad you enjoyed them Carrie! ☺️
