Rich, fudgy gluten-free brownies with crackly tops and chewy centers. An easy, flourless recipe everyone will love—no one will miss the gluten!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Fudgy brownies – rich chocolate flavor with chewy edges and gooey centers. The best gluten free brownies you’ll ever have! The fudgy texture is amazing, this is not a cakey brownie.
Crackly tops – just like classic bakery-style brownies.
Customizable – add nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of peanut butter for extra indulgence.
Ingredients Needed
- Gluten Free Flour Mix. I make my own mix using this recipe but you can use your favorite gluten-free flours.
- Sugar
- Butter, salted. If using unsalted butter add in a pinch more salt.
- Whipping Cream
- Chocolate Chips, semi sweet and milk
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Soda
- Salt
How to Make Gluten Free Brownies
- Melt sugar, butter and cream in a sauce pan on the stove top. Cook over medium heat until it begins to boil.
- Add in chocolate chips and stir until melted. It may look like your melted chocolate is seizing up but trust me it will be o.k.
- Add in eggs and vanilla and keep stirring.
- Mix in the dry ingredients including flour, baking soda and salt and stir until smooth.
- Pour batter into your greased 8 x 8 prepared pan.
- Bake at 325 for about 25 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean. Don’t overbake.
Tips from leigh Anne
- Use high-quality chocolate chips– it makes a big difference in rich chocolate flavor.
- Don’t overbake – brownies should look slightly underdone in the center; they’ll set as they cool.
- Let them cool before slicing – this helps them firm up and gives you clean edges when you slice them.
- Line your baking pan with parchment – makes removing and cutting much easier.
- Mix gently – overmixing can make brownies tough instead of fudgy.
- Store properly – keep in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you freeze gluten free brownies?
These brownies freeze beautifully. I like to cut the brownies into individual slices, wrap them in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag or airtight container.
Can I make these brownies dairy-free too?
Absolutely. Substitute dairy-free butter and chocolate, and they’ll turn out just as delicious.
How do I know when brownies are done?
They’re ready when the edges are set, the top is crackly, and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Do gluten free brownies taste different?
Not at all—these are rich, fudgy, and indulgent. Most people won’t even know they’re gluten-free!
Do I need to refrigerate gluten free brownies?
No, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
