Ingredients - Homemade brownies from scratch

• Gluten free Plain Flour –  You'll need to use gluten free plain flour not self raising , make sure to add a teaspoon of Xanthan gum along with that if your flour doesn't already have that. As this will add extra stability to the brownies. And prevent it from crumbling.
• Dairy free Butter – This can be block butter or spreadable butter - either one is fine as we will be melting it.
• Caster sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my brownies which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using very refined granulated sugar.
• Chocolate chips - Make sure these are dairy free - I really like NoMo chocolate [it's vegan]
• Cocoa Powder - This is where the rich chocolate flavour will comes from - make sure you're using cocoa powder not hot chocolate powder as that has added sugar and usually powdered milk which we don't want.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°/365°F and grease and flour your baking tin.
2. Begin by mixing together the flour, cocoa powder and sugars until full combined.

5. Bake for 18 mins at 170°c. Allow to cool for at least 10 mins and enjoy!

Substitutions

If you’d prefer not to make this choc brownies cocoa powder recipe specific to a dietary requirement or two, simply substitute the ingredients that correlate to your needs to make this brownies recipe chocolate chips suitable for your diet.

• Gluten free - If you’d prefer not to make this gluten-free simply substitute the gluten-free flour for normal plain flour. There’s also no need to add xanthan gum. As the gluten in the normal flour will prevent the brownies from crumbling.
• Vegan - If you’d prefer to make these brownies vegan I'd recommend following my full proof vegan brownie recipe here.
• Dairy free - If you’d prefer not to make these brownies dairy free simply substitute the dairy free butter for ordinary butter, this can be a spread or block butter.

Even if you don’t follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), you may have friends or family that could use this. 

Variations - Making Brownies Simple

If you'd prefer to make vegan brownies, I highly recommend my fudgy brownie recipe or my chocolate orange vegan brownies - these brownies are INCREDIBLE and I promise you would never have known their vegan!

Brownies white chocolate

To add more sweetness to your brownies, you can substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. Or you can make it into double chocolate brownies instead using both!

Storage

Can Brownies Be Frozen?

Yes! You can in fact freeze brownies up to 3 months. But they taste best within 3 days stored at room temperature.

FAQ - Chocolate gluten free brownies

Can you put peanut butter on brownies?

Yes! Why not, I think that's a great idea. For this recipe make sure you're using runny peanut butter and drizzle it in lines onto the brownie batter once in the pan and then with a skewer/knife/toothpick marble it into the batter. And bake as per the recipe.

Why are these brownies without baking powder?

The addition of baking powder would make these brownies rise resulting in a more cakey brownie, which isn't something were going for here.
