Fudgy Chocolate Gluten Free Brownies

The ultimate chocolate gluten free brownies… totally rich & fudgy! This one-bowl wonder takes less than 10 minutes to prepare & is a chocoholics dream!

You guys know how much I love my brownies, right?? A whole heck of a LOTTTTT!!! And surprisingly, my favourite type of brownies are gluten-free brownies. They’re the richest, fudgy-est brownies EVER!!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t usually eat gluten-free foods (I don’t!), these are still the absolute best brownies in the world. Hands down.

Gluten Free Brownies – the 2 must-have ingredients!

And 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 dense and delicious… while still giving them that gorgeous flakey top.

One Bowl Brownie Recipe

These Fudgy Chocolate 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.

How long can brownies be stored for?

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!). You can serve them all 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 totally delicious options!

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Type of chocolate - 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.

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.

Almond meal vs 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.

Storing - Once the brownies have cooked and cooled, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

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