Why you’ll love this recipe!

These rich, fudgy gluten-free brownies are everything you want in a brownie—crackly top, chewy edges, and a fudgy center. No one will ever guess they’re gluten-free!

I love this recipe and I think you will too because:

  • It’s flourless—but still perfectly chewy, fudgy, and rich. No one will know it’s gluten-free
  • Perfect for many occasions: bake sale, dinner party, or late-night craving, these brownies always disappear fast.

If you're someone who has a big chocolate sweet tooth like me, you'll also love my Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies or even Gluten Free Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies!

Ingredient notes

Here are some helpful notes about some key ingredients in these brownies -

  • Semi sweet chocolate & cocoa powder - The combo makes these brownies extra chocolatey.
  • Granulated sugar & Dark brown sugar
  • Cold eggs - 2 whole and 1 egg yolk! I have tested this recipe using COLD eggs from the fridge, so you don't need to wait for them to come to room temperature.
  • Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour- always spooned and leveled for accurate measurements
  • Cornstarch - helps to achieve that signature crackly brownie top!

Instructions

  1. Make the batter! Whisk all liquid ingredients in 1 bowl. Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, fold together until a batter forms!
  2. Transfer the brownie batter to a parchment lined baking pan.
  3. Bake for 36 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let cool completely, then slice and serve or refrigerate for a few hours for a slightly chewier brownie!

Recipe variations

These brownies are such a perfect base to add different mix-ins into the batter before baking it!

  • Chocolate chips - Mix in ½ cup chocolate chips into the batter for extra chocolatey brownies.
  • Peanut butter swirl - Melt ½ cup peanut butter in the microwave, drizzle over the brownie batter in the pan and swirl with a knife.
  • S'mores brownie - Add a gluten free graham cracker crust to the bottom of the pan, pour over the brownie batter and bake! Top with mini marshmallows and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Storage

Fridge: These brownies are best stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also store them at room temperature if you prefer brownies at room temperature.

Freezer: Easily store brownies sealed well in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag for up to 3 months.

Recipe FAQ’s

What oil works best for these gluten free brownies?

I recommend using a non-gmo canola oil, or even avocado oil works perfectly!
Coconut oil will change the texture a bit, so it would not be my top recommendation.

Can I use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar in these brownies?

You can use light brown sugar instead, but the brownies won't be as chewy. Dark brown sugar yields chewier brownies!
