Fudgy Chocolate Gluten Free Brownies

The ultimate chocolate gluten free brownies... rich, fudgy and totally delicious! This one-bowl recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare & is a chocoholics dream!

You know how much I love my brownies, right?? From my favourite 5 minute brownies to my Baileys brownies, 60 second microwave brownies to jersey caramel brownies and soooo many more... if there's a yummy brownie, I'm there!

What You Need

These simple brownies are made from just a few basic ingredients:

• dark chocolate - I recommend using a good quality dark cooking chocolate for this recipe.
• butter - I generally use unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, simply omit the extra pinch of salt from the ingredients list.
• vanilla extract
• pinch of salt - omit if using salted butter
• almond meal - also known as ground almonds. This can be bought from the baking section of any supermarket or grocer.
• eggs
• brown sugar - regular light brown sugar or dark brown sugar are both fine to use. Dark brown sugar will result in a more dense and chewy brownie.
• cocoa powder

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the full method.

The 2 Must-Have Ingredients

What makes these fudgy Chocolate Gluten Free Brownies so darn good?

They're made with dark chocolate (a higher quality chocolate will result in a better brownie) and almond meal.

The almond meal keeps these brownies amazingly dense and delicious... while still giving them that gorgeous flakey top.

One Bowl & 2 Step Brownie Recipe

These gluten free brownies are the easiest things ever to make. All you need is 1 bowl, 10 minutes and your prep is totally done! The hardest part of cooking these brownies is waiting for them to come out of the oven.

Step 1 - Melt the chocolate and butter

Step 2 - Stir through the vanilla extract, salt, almond meal, eggs, brown sugar and cocoa powder and mix together

Storing Brownies

Once they're cooked and cooled, you can store the brownies in an airtight container for up to 5 days (they sooooo won't last anywhere near that long!).

Serving Suggestions

You can serve them these brownies on their own (my favourite way), with a little shake of icing sugar, some fresh berries and cream, or a big scoop of ice-cream. All are totally delicious options!

Freezing

These brownies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Recipe FAQ & Tips

What's the best type of dark chocolate to use?

The better the quality chocolate, the better your brownies will be! Use good quality dark cooking chocolate in this recipe.

Equipment

You can use either a microwave, Thermomix or stove-top to melt the butter and chocolate.

What is almond meal?

Almond meal is the same as ground almonds. You can either buy almond meal from the supermarket or make your own by finely crushing almonds in a Thermomix or food processor.

Is almond meal the same as almond flour?

Almond flour has a finer texture than almond meal. Almond meal is made from raw unpeeled almonds, whereas almond flour is made from peeled and blanched almonds. Almond meal is preferable to use in this recipe.

Baking

Don't be tempted to over-bake the brownies... a deliciously dense brownie is what we want! The brownie is cooked when the top is flakey and a skewer inserted into the middle comes up with a few dense crumbs/smudges on it.
