Fudgy Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies

Today I am making Fudgy Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies, that are so good you won’t actually believe they are gluten-free!

The recipe is my adaption from The Kate Tin’s ‘Broke Brownies‘, which uses traditional cake flour.

I changed the recipe slightly by doubling everything, substituting the cake flour for almond flour and adding a pinch of xanthan gum.

Tips for making these Fudgy Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies

  • Almond flour works a bit differently than traditional flour. Since it’s high in fat, it makes baked foods like brownies super moist and tender.
  • When measuring almond flour, I advise using a scale
  • Whisk the eggs and sugar until they pass the “ribbon test.” When you whisk them and lift up the whisk, the mixture should stream down pretty evenly in “ribbons” rather than in big lumpy clumps. Also if it is very light and fluffy looking, it is ready for the dry ingredients
  • Pull brownies out when the centre is just about to set, that way they will be fudgier in texture
  • You can use coconut sugar instead of white sugar or coconut oil instead of butter if you prefer

That’s it, enjoy making these Fudgy Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies.
