Gluten-free brownies that are perfectly chewy and fudgy all at the same time. No cakey brownies here! These chewy gluten-free brownies are perfect for those intense chocolate cravings! Brownies have always been one of my absolute favorite desserts. I love the simplicity of them and they are a perfect fix for a chocolate craving. These are, by far, the best gluten-free brownies I’ve had. If you like your brownies to be fudgy and chewy, not cakey, then these are for you. I’m a huge fan of America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated. They research and test a ton before coming up with the perfect version of a recipe. If you’ve never followed a recipe by America’s Test Kitchen, you might be surprised at the precise steps involved, but trust that every little detail has been tested. In this recipe, you might be tempted to skip lining the pan with aluminum foil but don’t! I have tried this recipe without the foil, and the brownies did not turn out as well, and lacked the shiny crust that makes these so beautiful. As always, I only recommend baking with a good quality all-purpose gluten-free flour blend. All flour blends are not created equal! I recommend avoiding flour blends that contain any bean flours or that are primarily rice flour, as you’ll get a more gritty result. I definitely recommend gfJules gluten-free flour which you can buy direct or from Amazon. Other good quality flour blends I recommend are: King Arthur Measure for Measure (from Amazon or Target), Cup4Cup (from Amazon or Target) and Pamela’s. Yes! You can replace the butter with an equal amount of additional oil. You can replace the chocolate chips with dairy-free chocolate mini chips or chocolate chunks from Enjoy Life. My favorite way to enjoy these gf brownies (besides plain, with a glass of cold milk) is to have gluten-free Brownie Sundaes with my homemade hot fudge! And if I make my homemade caramel sauce, or peanut butter ice cream topping also, even better – so good with all of these! Looking for other gluten-free chocolate desserts? Try my gluten-free trifle recipe with brownies, candy, and whipped cream. Over the top good too! And you can’t go wrong with my gluten-free chocolate cupcakes either! If you make these and love them, please come back and give this recipe a 5 star rating in the recipe card! Feel free to comment with tips or to share any successful substitutions you made. Notice that you need 4 eggs total for this recipe. You'll use 2 whole eggs + 2 extra egg yolks. I'm sure you can come up with another yummy use for the leftover whites! *If using a gluten-free flour blend that already includes xanthan or guar gum, then omit the xanthan called for in the recipe. (gfJules includes xanthan, Cup4Cup includes xanthan, King Arthur includes xanthan, Pamela's includes guar, Gluten-free Mama doesn't use any gums so you add the gum separately as called for in recipe.)

If you bake this in a glass pan, does it cool for an hour and a half and then an additional ten minutes, or only ten minutes? The directions are not clear. Thanks!

If you bake them in a glass pan, I recommend leaving them in the pan only about 10 minutes or so, then using the foil sling to lift out of the hot glass pan and put onto a board or rack to cool before cutting. The hot pan retains heat and can continue cooking them. It isn't essential - this is included for those that might do it in a glass pan and then complain about them being overcooked.

Wow! I am thrilled with how these brownies turned out! They are moist, chewy and sooo chocolatey. I used Robin Hood all purpose flour blend gluten free and did not need to add xanthan gum as it was already included in this blend.

Hi! I am in search of the perfect GF brownie. I like my brownies chewy, gooey and fudgy, I have attempted this recipe twice now. The first time i cooked for exactly 30 min and my brownies were super dry. The taste was good but dry. I just tried them again and took them out of the oven at 17 minutes and was moister in the middle but not gooey, it was more like semi fudgy brownies. I have followed the instructions step by step, any ideas what it might be? what gives the brownie the gooeyness.I also noticed mine dont grow as much as the ones in the picture thats posted here, should I add baking powder or try a smaller pan maybe 9x9?
