They together quickly and in 5 simple steps:

First, slowly melt the butter and chocolate on low heat.

Let them melt naturally and don’t rush the process so that the result is a silky smooth rich looking chocolate mixture.

Meanwhile,

  • beat the egg until light and fluffy.
  • add in both sugars and mix until well combined.
  • then add in the eggs, melted chocolate mix and vanilla
  • lastly, mix in the the dry ingredients.

That’s it!

Pour into the pan and bake!

Super quick and easy recipe!

Pro Tip: As for baking, I recommend covering them at 25 minutes so that the tops stays soft and crinkly but the center continues to bake.

And I give a 5 minute range for total baking depending on if you want a fudgier or chewier brownie.

And that’s it!

Let them cool in the baking pan, slice into them and enjoy!

You’ll have gluten-free chocolate brownies with that perfect chewy-fudgy texture and amazing flavor!

And if you store them in a sealed container they will stay fresh for a few days!

Hope you love them as much as we do!

  1. These look amazing. What can I use to replace the eggs but achieve the same consistency. Flax, chia, applesauce?
