Terrifically fudgy, super easy brownies that just happen to be gluten free. I love how moist these Gluten Free Brownies are, and the undertones of nuttiness from the almond meal. These keep well, and are made in one bowl!

I love how moist these Gluten Free Brownies are, and the undertones of nuttiness from the almond meal. These keep well, and are made in one bowl. You can double or even triple the batch, but I do not recommend making a multiple batch in a pan much bigger than the 8 x 8" / 20 x 20cm pan otherwise the sides will overcook while the middle will be undercooked (as I found out first hand!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (cooking chocolate is best, but even eating chocolate works)
- 85 g / 3 oz / 3/4 stick unsalted butter , cut into chunks
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup almond flour (almond meal)
- 1/3 cup rice flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F/180C with a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Grease and line the pan across the bottom and up two sides with parchment paper. Having excess parchment paper will make it easy to lift out the brownie when cooked.
- Place chocolate, butter and salt in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. You can also do this in a microwave - do it in 30 second bursts.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla and sugar.
- Crack the eggs straight into the bowl, and stir to combine well.
- Add almond and rice flour, and mix very well.
- Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the brownies are slightly puffed all over and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but clean. You want it to be moist!
- Cool in the pan.
- Remove brownie by holding the edges of the baking paper and cut into squares.
Hi Nagi, any chance you can post the grams of each ingredient?
Hi Mel – there’s a button at the top of my recipes that swaps between metric and cups! N x
Hey Nagi thanks for this. The texture of the brownie is slightly grainy ( must be the rice flour) was wondering if this is how it should be? Thanks
Hi Jen – no it shouldn’t be grainy. It’s most likely the brand of rice flour – try an Asian brand and see how it goes! N x
Hi Nagi, I’d love to make these brownies for my friend who has a gluten and dairy free diet. What do you suggest swapping out the butter with?
Hi Nagi, I’m looking to give this a whirl. I don’t have rice flour. Can I sub with arrowroot flour instead?
Absolutely beautiful moist blueberry muffins. Delivered them to my daughters office and her co workers. Gone in an instant, her reply was ,The seagulls are hovering and they want more. Fabulous thanks.
Hi Nagi, Can I substitute coconut flour if I don;t have rice flour? Same measurements?
Thanks!
Hi Nagi.
I noticed in the comments you said to Sarah to use brown sugar, but the recipe ingredients just says 3/4 cup of sugar. I will use brown due to your comment to Sarah but I would have normally used white if it wasn’t specified. PS . Absolutely laughed out loud when I saw your two photos of Dozer with with strawberry flan. That is karma right there for teasing him with such yummy treats. 😂😂😂
Hi Chelsea, this recipe uses white sugar. N x
So easy, and fudgey! Love them
These were just delicious, I think we preferred them to non gluten free brownies!! Could you make them with just rice flour? Or would that not work. Thanks Nagi love your recipes!
Hi Nagi – am just making this delicious looking brownies recipe for my gluten free family and noticed at 2 different steps it says to add salt. I presume the second time is the correct one ?
Thanks as always, Joy
Thanks for picking that up Joy – the second one is correct! N x
I want to cook your gluten free brownies i only have almond and flax meal baking flower can i use that
First of all I had the chuckle at the lack of usual length in this post… 😉 They turned out just as described!! So yummy warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Hi, would cornstarch work in place of rice flour?
Just realised rice flour is easier to find than I thought 🙂
Hi AE – yes you can get it in major supermarkets in Australia 🙂 N x
I made them, and I liked them as much as the gluten free person (if not more).
But I also wanted to report that, because I was baking well in advance for a party, after taking them out of the pan and completely cooling, I double wrapped the whole brownie slab in cling wrap and froze it. I defrosted it in the fridge, and cut them the day before, and they were amazing!
Hi Nagi! How many grams in 2/3 cup almond flour and 1/3 cup rice flour? Thanks…
Hi Joanne, 55g of rice flour and 65g of almond meal. N x
Made this on the weekend and it was so yum!! Used brown sugar as mentioned in the comments as the recipe doesn’t specify.
Thankyou Nagi for sharing your amazing recipes, they feature regularly in our household 😊
What can you replace dark chip chocolate with?
