Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies Recipe - BEST EVER!
Gluten free chocolate brownies recipe using 6 ingredients. Super easy to make for beginners & so fudgy and chocolatey. Simple to make low FODMAP/dairy-free! See the blog post above on how to adapt this to be dairy-free, vegan or low FODMAP.
250gchocolateI use half dark and half milk (dairy free if necessary)
4medium eggsor 3 large eggs
280gcaster sugar
180gchocolate chipsI use 60g of white, milk and dark (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C and prepare a 9x9inch square tin with non-stick baking paper.
Melt together your butter and chocolate in a microwave or over a bain marie until completely melted. Mix together and leave out to cool down to just warm / room temp.
Sieve together your cocoa powder and gluten free flour in a bowl. Mix briefly until combined, put to one side.
In another bowl crack 4 medium eggs (or 3 large eggs) and pour in your caster sugar. Beat together (I use an electric hand whisk) until paler in colour and almost a little frothy.
Once the chocolate and butter mixture is cooled to room temp, pour it into your egg/sugar mixture. Fold it in with a spatula - it will initially marble and then turn super chocolatey.
Next fold in the your gluten free plain flour and cocoa powder mix. Ensure it's fully folded in.
Fold in your chocolate chips, if using.
Pour/spoon your brownie mixture into your prepared tin and smooth it over so it's even and level.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes. The brownies will wobble slightly upon removing from the oven but will firm up as they cool. If you want them even more gooey, cook for 5 minutes less, if you want a firmer brownie, cook for slightly longer. I find with brownies all ovens seem to really vary.
Its really important to allow your brownies to cool completely before removing from the tin and slicing them. I find they firm up even more after slicing.
Serve as a treat at room temperature or warm with some ice cream as dessert. Enjoy!

Notes
These brownies are chunkier than some of my other brownies. I chose to do this as they don't have any additional filling / topping. That's also the reason I bake them for longer compared to my other recipes.If you want a slightly thinner brownie (like those of my other brownie recipes) you can reduce your chocolate and butter both to 200g each, stick to 3 large eggs and reduce your flour back down to 90g. Cook at the same temperature but for nearer 25-30 minutes.For dairy free ensure you use dairy free alternatives for butter, chocolate and check the cocoa powder is dairy free too.
