If you’re a chocolate lover like me, these gluten-free brownies will take you straight to chocolate heaven! I love brownies with a flaky crust, a light, cake-like texture, and a chewy center.

These homemade gluten-free brownies are incredibly easy to make from scratch—you’ll never want to buy a boxed gluten-free brownie mix again!

Gluten-Free Brownie Recipe

There’s something magical about brownies. For any chocolate enthusiast, they’re an easy, indulgent treat that comes together in just over 30 minutes.

Better than any box mix, these homemade gluten-free brownies are fudgy, chewy, and irresistibly soft. Once you see how simple they are to make, you won’t look back! Even better, this is a one-bowl wonder—no mixer required!

Ingredients

Unsalted Butter: Creates rich, tender brownies. For a dairy-free version, use Smart Balance butter.
Sugar: A mix of granulated white sugar and brown sugar adds moisture and sweetness.
Eggs: Provide structure and help bind the batter.
Pure Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall sweetness and depth of flavor.
Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (with Xanthan Gum): I prefer Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Different blends yield different results, so choose wisely.
Cocoa Powder: Delivers a rich, chocolatey flavor.
Baking Soda: Helps the brownies rise for the perfect texture.
Salt: Enhances the chocolate flavor.

Tips and Suggestions

Check your gluten-free flour ingredients—if it already contains xanthan gum, don’t add extra! Too much xanthan gum can lead to gummy brownies.
Use the spoon & level method to measure flour correctly. Scoop flour into the measuring cup with a spoon, then level it off with a knife. This prevents adding too much flour, which can make the brownies dense.

Should I Use a Metal or Glass Pan?

I prefer baking brownies in a glass pan because it distributes heat evenly, ensuring uniform baking. Metal pans heat up faster, leading to firmer, chewier brownies, but you’ll need to watch closely to prevent over-baking.

Can I Add Mix-Ins?

Absolutely! Customize your brownies by adding chocolate chips, M&M’s, or swirls of peanut butter for extra flavor and texture.

Storage Instructions

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigerator: Keep for up to 1 week.
Freezing: Once cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer bag. Store for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the fridge.

These gluten-free brownies are so good, you’ll forget they’re gluten-free! Enjoy every bite of this rich, chocolatey delight.
