PIN Easy Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Brownies

You can just go ahead and call me the QUEEN of brownie recipes. I have a whole selection of them here on the blog- take healthy greek yogurt brownies or protein low carb keto brownies, for instance. I even have an instant pot brownie recipe, for goodness sake!

But right here. RIGHT NOW. You can get these EASY gluten-free brownies!

Why you will LOVE This Recipe 

• Today’s gluten- and dairy-free brownies are absolutely delicious, made with better-for-you ingredients, AND they cater to those in your crew who may have food allergies or dietary preferences.
• They are perfectly dense and chewy with just the right amount of sweetness and are oh-so-fudgy. Try them out and you won’t be disappointed!
• This is for you parents whose child didn’t tell you that you had to bring a dessert to school that VERY day, so you had to drive all the way to the store to buy a BOXED mix and the whole ordeal ended up taking over an hour, when you REALLY could have made (better!) brownies FROM SCRATCH in under an hour.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk (so, you will need 2 eggs)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat your oven to 350 F and line the bottom of an 8-inch pan with parchment paper.

• In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

• In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the sugar and oil just until the sugar is moistened. Add in all the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and beat until JUST combined, only about 20 seconds or so. You don’t want to beat too much air into the batter or the brownies will sink when cooking.

• Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and stir (by hand) until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips.

• Press the batter into the prepared pan. It is VERY thick so I found using VERY lightly damp hands to work the best. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 26-28 minutes.

The Secret for Chewy Brownies

OK, friends, so I have a trick for this recipe that results in the most CHEWY gluten-free dairy-free brownies you’ll ever have! Once you pull the brownies from the oven, let them cool on the counter for about 5 minutes. Then, place a hot pad in the fridge and place the pan on the hot pad. Cool your brownies in the fridge for 45 minutes, then remove and voila! The chewiest brownies are yours to devour! Do not cool them longer than 45 minutes, though, as they may start to dry out after that point.

How To Store Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Brownies

I recommend storing your cooled, sliced brownies in the fridge for 1-3 days in an airtight container. They will also keep great in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer-safe, resealable bag for up to 3 months.

Tips & Notes:

*As with all GF baking, please weigh your flour to ensure results

**The key to super chewy and dense brownies is to cool them fast so they stop cooking. I cool mine on the counter for 5 minutes. Then, I place a hot pad in the fridge and cool them in there for 45 minutes. Don’t cool them in the fridge longer or they will dry out.
