Ingredients
- 100 grams Chocolate (Dairy free if required)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter Use dairy free butter if required
- 130 grams Gluten free All-purpose flour (Gluten free Plain Flour)
- 30 grams Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder Some brands may have ingredients that contain gluten. Always be sure to check the label.
- ¼ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large Eggs Room temperature
- 200 grams Sugar
- 120 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C/325°F/Gas mark 3. Prepare an 8x8 baking tin with parchment paper.
- Gently melt chocolate with butter together in a bain-marie (by half filling a pan with hot water with a bowl on top) over low/medium heat until the chocolate and butter have melted.
- Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt then set aside.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl for at least 5 minutes until the egg and sugar mixture looks nice and frothy (This will help get that shiny brownie top) and then add the oil and vanilla. Add melted chocolate mixture to the whipped eggs and oil mixture. Mix until fully combined.
- Combine wet mixture to flour mixture folding in gently until fully combined ensuring that there are no lumps.
- Add to a lined baking tin and spread evenly. Place in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. Checking with a skewer when it almost comes out almost clean it is ready. (Do not overbake there will be some pieces of brownie on the skewer they are ready).
- Move the baking tray to a cooling rack leaving the gluten free brownie in the tin to cool. When the gluten free fudge brownie is almost cool cover it and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once cooled cut evenly into your desired-sized squares.
Notes
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 with the sugar. 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.
