I’ve always been a brownie lover—nothing beats biting into a rich, fudgy square of chocolate goodness.
But when I had to go gluten-free, finding a brownie that didn’t taste like cardboard was harder than I thought.
So I started experimenting. After countless batches (and plenty of taste tests), I finally nailed it!
These fudgy flourless brownies are rich, decadent, and secretly good for you, made with ingredients you probably already have at home.
Tips
- For a dairy-free option: Use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Want extra richness? Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Healthier twist: Replace the granulated sugar with maple syrup or honey, but reduce the amount slightly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fudgy brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel. For a fun twist, top them with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
Fudgy Flourless Brownies
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 9 brownies 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
Decadent, fudgy brownies with no flour needed! These rich chocolatey treats are gluten-free, easy to make, and totally satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (make sure they’re gluten-free)
- ½ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (for extra chewiness)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and butter:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly. - Mix the sugars and eggs:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture looks light and frothy. This gives the brownies a crackly top! - Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined. Then sift in the cocoa powder and salt. Stir until you get a thick, shiny batter. - Add the nuts (if using):
If you like a bit of crunch, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans. - Bake:
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set. Don’t overbake—fudgy brownies need a little gooeyness in the middle. - Cool and slice:
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. Use a sharp knife for clean edges.
Notes
Best stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
