How to Make Gluten-Free Brownies (Overview)

Making these brownies couldn’t be easier. Start by mixing your dry ingredients, then add the wet (and oh, the melted chocolate!). Just keep mixing until everything comes together nicely. Pro tip: Be careful not to overmix; nobody wants brownies that resemble cake!

Once your batter is smooth and chocolaty, pour it into your dish. Bake until they are set but still fudgy in the center. Trust me, they’ll be worth the wait!

How to Serve Gluten-Free Brownies

Serve these brownies warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that slowly melts into a pool of creamy goodness. 🌊 Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce and toss in some fresh berries for a burst of color. Imagine that contrast of warm, fudgy brownie and cold ice cream. Heaven, right?

How to Store Gluten-Free Brownies

Got leftovers? Lucky you! These brownies stay fresh in the fridge for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, pop them in the freezer for up to three months. To reheat, just toss them in the microwave for a quick warm-up – approximately 10-15 seconds should do the trick!

Tips to Make Gluten-Free Brownies

• Swapping Sweeteners: If you’re not keen on coconut sugar, feel free to use maple syrup or honey for a different twist.
• Texture Fix: For a more chocolatey vibe, try adding an extra 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chunks.
• Eggless Option: For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs or unsweetened applesauce.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? How about sprinkling in some nuts for a crunchy texture or adding a splash of peppermint extract for a festive twist during the holidays? You can even swirl some peanut butter into the batter for a delightful combo that will have everyone begging for more!
