Gluten-Free Brownies

If you are looking to satisfy your sweet tooth or you are a chocoholic like me, then you have come to the right place. These Gluten-Free Brownies will satisfy your cravings for something sweet and chocolaty. These brownies are fudgy, chewy and so delicious. So easy and simple to make and only call for a few ingredients. These gluten-free brownies are rich, decadent and no-one will ever know they are made with gluten-free flours.

Ingredients needed to make Gluten-Free Brownies:

• Dark Chocolate Chips– Or any good quality dark chocolate.
• Unsalted Butter– You want to use unsalted butter when baking.
• Coconut Sugar– Can substitute for maple sugar.
• Eggs– Binding agent.
• Vanilla Extract– Enhances flavor.
• Espresso Powder– Adds richness and depth to brownies.
• Pink Sea Salt– Elevates flavor.
• Baking Powder– Helps brownies rise.
• Cocoa Powder– Cacao powder works too. You may just want to add a bit more sugar.
• Gluten-Free Flours– I use a blend of blanched almond flour and tapioca flour.

Equipment needed to make Gluten-Free Brownies:

• 8×8 inch baking pan– Make sure your pan is this size.
• Parchment Paper– To line baking pan.
• Small Bowl– To melt butter and chocolate chips.
• Large Mixing Bowl– For mixing all ingredients in.
• Whisk– To whisk your batter.

How to make Gluten-Free Brownies:

• Step 1– Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper  (enough to leave ends of paper out of pan). Set aside. 
• Step 2– Place butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips is a small bowl. Place in the microwave and melt in increments of 30 seconds until completely melted. Mix together and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

• Step 3– Sprinkle in coconut sugar into bowl and whisk together until well combined and sugar has melted into butter and chocolate mixture. Crack eggs into mixture and continue whisking until well combined. 

•  Step 4– Add in espresso powder, pink sea salt, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well incorporated into batter. Add in blanched almond flour and tapioca flour. Whisk once again making sure there aren’t any traces of flour left. Fold in remaining chocolate chips. 

• Step 5– Pour batter into prepped baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread batter throughout the pan. Make sure you get into those corners. Place brownie batter in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. 

• Step 6– Remove brownies from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow brownies to cool-down for 30 minutes to finish setting.
• Step 7– Using the sides of parchment paper sticking out of the pan, pull brownies out of the pan. Place on a flat surface and cut into 9 even squares. Do this by cutting down 3 times and then across 3 times again. 
• Step 8– Serve brownies and enjoy!

Tips and Substitutions:

1. If you don’t have a microwave– Use a small pan and fill up with about 2 inches of water. Place a heat resistant bowl over it and add chocolate chips and butter into it. Turn heat on low to melt chocolate. Stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
2. Line baking pan with a piece of parchment paper that is long enough that some of it sticks out of the sides-This will make it easier to take the brownies out of the pan once they have baked and cooled-down.
3. Spray or dab pan with a bit of oil- This will help keep the parchment paper in place. 
4. Substitute for Butter- Use unrefined coconut oil or avocado oil. 
5. Substitute for coconut sugar- Use maple sugar.
6. For more fudgy brownies– Lower the baking time. Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes instead. Allow them to cool down in the pan over a cooling-rack.
7. Substitute for cocoa powder– Cacao powder is a great substitute and is rich in anti-oxidants making these brownies healthier.
