    Ingredients

    ingredients for gluten free fudge brownies
    • Gluten free All purpose flour - Also known as gluten free Plain Flour
    • Granulated Sugar - I used granulated sugar but you could use half white and half brown sugar if you prefer.
    • Chocolate - Use good quality chocolate. I recommend that you use your preferred chocolate or Dairy free if required. Always check that you are using gluten free chocolate as some chocolate brands contain gluten. I recommend that you check the ingredients label to be sure it has no gluten-containing ingredients. See my what chocolate is gluten free guide.
    • Oil - Helps gives that fudgy chewy brownie texture. Use a netural flavor oil like vegetable oil or if you prefer you could use canola oil.
    • Cocoa Powder - I used a dutch processed cocoa powder.
    • Eggs - Be sure to use large eggs at room temperature. Eggs add structure and stability to the brownies.
    • Vanilla extract
    • Baking powder
    • Xanthan Gum - A regular ingredient in gluten-free baking. Essentially binding everything together just as gluten would do in regular baking.
    • Salt -Adds depth and balance to the brownie flavor.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Recipe Tips

    How to make a fudgy brownie - This recipe uses oil, not butter which gives the brownies a moist fudgy more tender-like texture. Which I feel makes for a delicious rich chewy brownie. The key is to not overbake the brownies and remove them from the oven just as the skewer comes out almost clean but not dry and leave the brownie in the tin until fully cooled. Then place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting with a sharp knife to your desired size squares.

    How to get that shiny brownie top - To get that beautiful crisp shiny top on your brownies make sure that your eggs are at room temperature and that you whisk them well. I usually whisk for around 5 minutes to be sure that they are well whipped and that plenty of air has been added throughout the eggs.

    Gluten free Baking

    • Gluten Free Flour – I used a shop bought Gluten free flour blend from Doves Farm Freee from range. Which is a flour blend of Rice, Potato, Tapioca, Maize and Buckwheat flour. I have had reports that others have used Bob’s Red Mill and other Gluten free All purpose blends with my recipes that have worked well. I would love to know what flour blends worked for you. So feel free to get in touch by leaving a comment below or you can contact me directly.
    • Kitchen Scales - Using digital scales is recommended when baking. I always measure using scales and in grams as baking is a science. When baking gluten free it is essential to weigh out ingredients to get the best results! There is no need to purchase expensive digital scales and you can find them available cheaply online.
    • Oven Temperatures - Your oven temperature may be slightly different. As all ovens vary in temperature and the baking time is used as a guide. Some ovens run hotter than others. You could invest in an oven thermometer to be more accurate.

    Equipment needed

    This recipe does not require any special equipment. You can use a hand whisk and only require a non-stick pan to melt the chocolate. If required you could melt the chocolate in the microwave. I used a lined 8x8 baking tin.
