Recipe Tips & Notes
Why We Love This Chocolatey Brownie Recipe
It offers an intense chocolate flavour. As classic chocolate lovers, we enjoy the rich, fudgy decadence of these GF brownies coupled with the added chocolate chips!
While this may be merely an aesthetic preference, everyone loves a shiny meringue-like top and this gluten free recipe delivers! Chill your gluten free brownie batter before baking for the best crackling top.
Does Gluten Free Brownie Box-Mix Exist?
Yes, gluten free brownie box mix does exist. There are several different brownie box-mix options for Celiacs available now including Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix and Betty Crocker Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Mix. Both are easy brownie box mix options available online and in-stores.
Can you use white chocolate instead?
White chocolate and milk chocolates yield different results when substituting in recipes. Unfortunately, a straight substitution of the chocolate used with white chocolate will result in an oily and too sweet texture.
Are semisweet chocolate chips gluten free?
The easy answer is yes, most semisweet chocolate chips are naturally gluten free. It is important to always read labels and watch for the hidden gluten. There are options available that state being gluten free including Hershey’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.
Sooo good and quick to make! Perfect brownie texture, but I added pecans because I love them.
Wowzers, my daughter made these for our family, SO surprised how amazingly deliciouse these were!! Asked her which recipe she followed and she got me right too it so I can make them this time!!! Is it brownie time yet!?!? YUMMY!
I made this for the first time and doubled the recipe. It took a bit longer to bake. They were a huge hit! Will definitely be making these brownies again and again!!!
First time I ever baked a dessert on my own. They were so delicious. My family love it. It was delicious 😋
These are incredible!! Baked them in silicone molds and turned out fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
delicious and fudgy indeed!
These were really delicious gluten free brownies. Thank you for the easy recipe 🙂
I added caramel swirls and caramel sauce to mine and so good!
Loooove these brownies!!! Totally awesome in a pinch and they barely last in my home! I’ve made them almost 3 times this week as a treat not just because we love them but because they’re just so darn easy to make! Lots of love and many thanks 🙂
This really is the best brownie recipe. I do a lot of baking and cooking. My taste in sweets leans towards everything but chocolate. Once in awhile I do get a sudden craving for something dense and chocolate. I am delighted. It’s delicious. It’s simple. It’s dark and rich and fulfills every chocolate craving. I’ve made it quite a few times since the first and mostly to serve other people. It has never failed to be eaten with delight, and I’m so glad your recipe is the one that caught my eye. Thank you for sharing the best gluten free brownie I’ve ever eaten or baked.
I never leave comments online after using a recipe. I usually just save and move on. But I stumbled across this one and just used it today. Me and my toddler took one bite and simultaneously said Mmm. I had to come back To leave a comment. Hands down the best gluten free brownie recipe I have ever tried.
love how perfect the texture and flavor is
Made these a few weeks ago with just 1 cup of sugar and they were still delicious- just topped with a dusting of powdered sugar. The family loved them and they were gone in a few days.
These brownies were perfect! I had a midnight craving last night and decided to make them. They turned out so good, nice and gooey on the inside, and crispy on the exterior.
This recipe is wonderful
I had never made “homemade” brownies before…(at 54 years old, lol).
Theses were super easy and OH my goodness yummy! Thank you for the recipe. I will never do a boxed brownie again!
These are the best gluten free brownies I have ever made. I usually double the batch and make it for just about every dinner I’m invited to. I have always had people comment on how good they are and a few have called them “the best brownies in the world.”
