🥣 Ingredients You Will Need

Simple, everyday ingredients:

🍫 Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour (or gluten-free flour mix)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

🍯 Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (brown sugar works best)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

🍫 Optional Add-ins:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • Chopped walnuts or almonds

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🍫 Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy.

Add melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.


🍫 Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

Now add almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Mix gently until everything combines into a thick chocolate batter.

💡 Tip: Don’t overmix or brownies may turn dense instead of fudgy.


🍫 Step 3: Add Extras (Optional)

Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if you like extra texture in your Gluten free Brownie.


🍫 Step 4: Bake

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).

Pour batter into a lined baking tray and spread evenly.

Bake for 20–25 minutes.

💡 Important Tip: Slightly underbake for gooey brownies or bake longer for cake-like texture.


🍫 Step 5: Cool & Slice

Let brownies cool completely before cutting. This helps them set and become extra fudgy.

Now your Gluten free Brownie is ready to enjoy!


💡 Pro Tips & Variations

  • For extra fudginess, add an extra egg yolk
  • Use dark chocolate chips for stronger flavor
  • Replace butter with coconut oil for dairy-free version
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance chocolate taste
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist

Common mistake: overbaking. That’s what makes brownies dry instead of fudgy.
