Author’s Notes

The Brownies No One Knew Were Gluten-Free

A few years ago, I was hosting dinner at my house and had a guest coming who couldn’t eat gluten. I don’t do a ton of gluten-free baking, but I was determined to make a dessert that no one would guess was gluten-free and that tasted every bit as good as a traditional brownie.

I seriously got to work and tested this recipe again and again until I knew I had it right. These brownies are incredibly fudgy, rich, packed with chocolate, and easily the best gluten-free brownies recipe I’ve ever made.

Everyone at the party raved about them without even realizing they were gluten free! And my gluten-free guest said they were one of the best desserts she’d ever had.

Ingredients in this recipe prepped out for straightforward assembly including the chocolate chips, cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, eggs, butter, and vanilla.

EggsRoom-temperature eggs mix in more smoothly and help create that fudgy texture.
Cocoa Powder, Cornstarch & SaltDutch-process cocoa powder gives this Gluten-Free Brownies Recipe its deep, rich chocolate flavor.

the cook’s Tips

My Top Recipe Tips

  • Don’t Overbake: Pull them while the center still looks slightly underdone.
  • Let Them FULLY Cool: Brownies get firmer and fudgier as they set.
  • The Pan: This gluten-free brownies recipe bakes more evenly in a metal pan than a glass one.
  • Cut Them Cold: Chilled brownies slice much more cleanly.
  • Add Flaky Salt: A little on top makes the chocolate pop.
The batter spread into a pan to bake up.

Storage

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, wrap individual brownies and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds before serving.
