Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies

These brownies are my first attempt at gluten-free baking (other than things like meringues and such that are naturally gluten-free) and I’m happy to say, they were amazing! Thanks to these I would be happy to try more gluten-free recipes in the future. These were so good that I honestly didn’t even miss the flour—all I could think of was how fudgy, chocolaty, and rich they were with those perfectly chewy edges and the crumbly shell-like top layer. Even if you aren’t on a gluten-free diet, I would highly recommend these brownies!

Ice Cream Topping

The first day I ate them on their own and the next day I mixed them into some creamy cookie dough ice cream – it was seriously the best upgrade on store-bought ice cream (and I may have had a hard time resisting continually going back for more brownie pieces to add in, just maybe :).

Best Gluten-Free Desserts

Because these don’t contain any gluten ingredients they do have a slightly different texture than a regular brownie, but in a very good way. I’ve tried almond flour brownies, dairy-free brownies, and many other gluten-free flour blends but this recipe relies on the unsweetened cocoa powder with chocolate melt and vanilla extract to balance the flavor. The result is amazing. They reminded me of a velvety truffle, the kind that melts away in your mouth – these are made mostly of chocolate chips after all. I also love the light added crunch of the pecans and the nutty kick of flavor they give compliments the brownies perfectly. Feel free to try almonds, walnuts, or any other nut stirred into your brownie batter. Please try these decadent gf brownies soon—they don’t disappoint.
