This Gluten Free Brownie is one of the best chocolate brownie ever. It’s fluffy, rich in chocolate, crispy with walnuts and gluten free. One thing though and that is do make sure that you use the best quality chocolate you can find. Enjoy xx
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup corn starch or rice flour
- 1 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup walnuts
Methods:
1 . Preheat oven to 400 °F.
2 . Melt chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler*.
3 . In a bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, almond meal, vanilla extract and eggs.
4 . Slowly add the chocolate mixture into the bowl and mix again. Add the walnuts.
5 . Cover a 9*9″ brownie pan with parchment paper and pour the brownie mixture.
6 . Bake for 20 minutes. (Don’t over cook it, it will lose its fluffiness). Let it cool for 15 minutes before serving.
* Double boiler technique:
Add 1” of water to a medium saucepan or pot and bring to a very gentle simmer. Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the pot so that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. You want the steam from the water to gently warm the bowl. Add the chopped chocolate and butter to the bowl and stir occasionally with a spatula until smooth and melted.
Wow! This look so gooey and perfect 🙂

What would you use to substitute the almond meal?
LikeLike
Almond meal is used in this recipe for a moist and dense result.
You could replace it by another nut flour or maybe polenta. However, using another flour than almond meal won’t give you the same result as almond flour contains natural oils that add fat to the recipe.
Hope this helps !

Oh this looks delicious! Do you have a preference on whether corn starch or rice flour works better?

I don’t really have a preference that’s why I listed both. But I usually use corn starch since I always have it in my pantry 🙂 hope this help xx

This recipe is a stunner. I love your photography and writing style. Luckily, I just bought a big container of almond meal and look forward to using it. I want to marry this recipe. Can I reduce the butter or swap it with applesauce or coconut oil? Thanks for sharing this recipe, and I’m looking forward to future posts! 🙂
