• 250g / 9 oz chocolate (half dark, half milk; dairy-free if needed)

• 180g / 1 cup chocolate chips (optional; mix of white, milk, and dark)

How To Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownies Recipe?

1. Preheat and Prepare Tin: Preheat oven to 160°C Fan / 180°C / 350°F and line a 9×9 inch baking tin with non-stick baking paper.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave or over a bain-marie until fully melted. Stir well and let cool to room temperature.
3. Mix Flour and Cocoa: Sift together the gluten-free flour and cocoa powder in a bowl, then set aside.
4. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and caster sugar with an electric whisk until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the cooled chocolate and butter mix into the egg and sugar mix, folding gently with a spatula until combined.
6. Add Flour Mixture: Fold in the flour and cocoa mixture until just combined.
7. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Fold in chocolate chips if using.
8. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin, smoothing the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the brownies are set but slightly wobbly. For gooey brownies, bake for 5 minutes less; for firmer brownies, bake slightly longer.
9. Cool and Slice: Let the brownies cool completely in the tin before slicing.
10. Serve: Enjoy at room temperature or warm with a scoop of ice cream!

Recipe Tips:

• Don’t Overmix: When adding flour and cocoa powder, mix gently. Overmixing can make the brownies too dense.
• Check Oven Temperature: Oven temperatures can be different, so check your brownies after 30 minutes. For gooey brownies, bake a bit less.
• Let Them Cool Fully: Wait for the brownies to cool completely before cutting. They will firm up and be easier to slice.
• Add Your Favorite Chocolate Chips: You can use any kind of chocolate chips you like, such as white, dark, or milk chocolate. It will make your brownies even tastier.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the brownies cool completely to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Wrap the brownies in plastic wrap or foil, then place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before eating.
