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.

Can you make these with rice flour?
Hi Gill, I haven’t tested these with rice flour so I can’t say, sorry!
I made them with rice flour and I thought they were delicious.
Delicious and so easy. I needed something gluten free for friends and this was it, so easy and tasty.
Seemed too liquid at first but after cooling was fine. You just need to wait while it cools. I have no willpower in the choc brownie area:-) and didn’t wait. Still uber-tasty, though.

Hahaha I know how you feel Dave! Sometimes hot and gooey is best! Glad you enjoyed them.
Leave in tin& tfr to write cooking rack…. as in put the tin on the cooling rack?? 🤔
Yes that’s right! It will help the bottom of the pan cool a little quicker!
Ok thanks 😊
It is now my favourite brownie recipe & easily & beautifully converts to dairy free too if you subs the butter for light olive oil & make sure you get dark chocolate that is df.
So easy to whip up by hand ♡♡

Aww so happy to hear that!! So glad you enjoyed them ☺️
I made these and used cacao powder and replaced the brown sugar with more white sugar because I ran out of brown and they still turned out amazing!!!
I love hearing that! So glad you enjoyed them Samantha! ☺️
I was wondering if I need to add xanthan to the flour if not added already or if I can just use the all purpose as is?
Hi, I use White Wings gluten free plain flour – it’s doesn’t have xanthan gum in it. I hope that helps!
These are awesome! Was my first attempt with GF baking and was worried they’d be a bit cakey but they were gooey and delicious and a total success! Another vote for a gf cookie recipe please! 🙂

Thank you for this super easy but delicious recipe. I also pressed frozen raspberries onto the top of tje brownie before baking, just to add that tart raspberry flavour to compliment the deep chocolate flavour. It was a huge hit!
★★★★★
Yay! I love adding raspberries to my brownies too! So glad you enjoyed them ☺️
These are absolutely amazing, better than any non-gluten-free brownies I have baked! Thanks for the recipe.
