Gluten Free Chocoholic Brownies

The ultimate comfort food!

These brownies are super fudgy and so moreish. They are a chocolate lovers dream – made with not just one kind of chocolate, but all three! Dark and milk chocolate chunks are folded into the brownie batter and white chocolate is melted and drizzled on top before baking. Delicious!

Brownies are one of my favourite things to bake. They’re simple to make and take no time at all. You can enjoy them as they are or warm with a dollop of ice cream.

This recipe makes 9 brownies and takes about an hour to make!

Ingredients:

  • 125 g unsalted butter
  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 g gluten-free plain flour
  • 20 g ground almonds
  • 10 g cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 50 g dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • 50 g milk chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • 50 g white chocolate, melted

Useful Equipment: weighing scales, chopping board, knife, 20 cm square brownie pan, baking paper, heatproof bowl, small saucepan, mixing bowl, spatula, hand/stand mixer

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C fan/350 °F. Grease a 20 cm square brownie tin and line the bottom with baking paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate (150 g) using a microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring each time (you can use a bain marie instead if you prefer).
  3. Add the butter and mix to ensure melting and until a smooth consistency is reached.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter mixture and whisk to combine.
  5. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and add the salt and ground almonds. Fold the mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Add the chopped dark and milk chocolate and melt the white chocolate (microwave or bain marie).
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin and drizzle the melted white chocolate on top using a spoon. With a skewer or blunt knife, swirl the chocolate into the brownie mixture.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 – 35 mins. Cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

These brownies will keep up to 5 days in an airtight container. They are suitable for freezing for up to 3 months. Make sure to fully defrost and bring to room temperature before serving.
