SERVINGS: 9
PREP TIME: 20MINUTES MINS
TOTAL TIME: 55MINUTES MINS
INGREDIENTS
- 100 g gluten-free plain flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 250 g butter or dairy free alternative
- 250 g chocolate I use half dark and half milk (dairy free if necessary)
- 4 medium eggs or 3 large eggs
- 280 g caster sugar
- 180 g chocolate chips I use 60g of white, milk and dark (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C and prepare a 9x9inch square tin with non-stick baking paper.
- Melt together your butter and chocolate in a microwave or over a bain marie until completely melted. Mix together and leave out to cool down to just warm / room temp.
- Sieve together your cocoa powder and gluten free flour in a bowl. Mix briefly until combined, put to one side.
- In another bowl crack 4 medium eggs (or 3 large eggs) and pour in your caster sugar. Beat together (I use an electric hand whisk) until paler in colour and almost a little frothy.
- Once the chocolate and butter mixture is cooled to room temp, pour it into your egg/sugar mixture. Fold it in with a spatula – it will initially marble and then turn super chocolatey.
- Next fold in the your gluten free plain flour and cocoa powder mix. Ensure it’s fully folded in.
- Fold in your chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour/spoon your brownie mixture into your prepared tin and smooth it over so it’s even and level.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes. The brownies will wobble slightly upon removing from the oven but will firm up as they cool. If you want them even more gooey, cook for 5 minutes less, if you want a firmer brownie, cook for slightly longer. I find with brownies all ovens seem to really vary.
- Its really important to allow your brownies to cool completely before removing from the tin and slicing them. I find they firm up even more after slicing.
- Serve as a treat at room temperature or warm with some ice cream as dessert. Enjoy!
