These flourless brownies have become my secret weapon for dinner parties where dietary restrictions might come into play. Rich, fudgy, and completely gluten-free, they satisfy every chocolate craving without compromising on texture or flavor.

I discovered this recipe when my niece was diagnosed with celiac disease. What started as a necessity quickly became our family's favorite brownie recipe, regardless of dietary needs.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Cuisine Type: American

Yield: 12 Servings (12 brownies)

Dietary Preferences: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

What You'll Need

01 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
02 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
03 4 large eggs
04 1 cup granulated white sugar
05 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Steps to Follow

Step 01

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 or 9 inch square pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper and spray the parchment. An 8 inch pan will yield thicker brownies.

Step 02

Combine the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 03

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the eggs and sugar together until thick. Mix in the vanilla, and then gradually mix in the melted chocolate. Finally, mix in the cocoa powder.

Step 04

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is just set. Cool completely before cutting.

Step 05

Refrigerate the brownies to chill before cutting, as they cut better when well chilled.

Additional Notes

  1. Ensure chocolate and vanilla extract brands are gluten-free if making this dish GF.
  2. Store in a covered container for 1-2 days, or freeze in a covered container to enjoy over a couple of weeks.
