Guys, stop what you are doing – this is the best gluten-free brownies recipe you have tried! I can’t tell you how much everyone enjoyed these! They are so easy to make, they are the perfect yummy chocolate treat!

My absolute favorite 4th of July staple is brownies. But I want everyone at our celebration to be able to enjoy my favorite dessert. Just because brownies are gluten free doesn’t mean they have to be any less decadent than regular brownies.

These GF Brownies taste like GOURMET brownies from your local bakery…SO FUDGY and amazing…and they also just so happen to be without gluten. This way everyone at your party can enjoy!

How to make the Best Gluten Free Brownies Recipe

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Cover a 13×9-inch baking pan with two folded sheets of aluminum foil – the first sheet will go across one way and the second sheet should go the length of the over way and be perpendicular to the first sheet. Cut the foil long enough to hang over all edges by 3 inches. The foil will be used to lift the cooked brownies from the pan. Spray the foil-lined pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk well.
  4. Melt butter in a large heatproof bowl. Add chopped chocolate and stir until completely smooth and incorporated. If necessary, gently heat the chocolate/butter mixture, on HIGH, in 10-second increments, until chocolate is melted. Stir often.
  5. When chocolate mixture is smooth, gradually whisk in the sugar. Add eggs, one-at-a-time until thoroughly combined. Add vanilla and whisk again.
  6. Add flour mixture in three additions. Fold gently with a rubber spatula after each addition, until batter is smooth and fully incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it into the corners and smoothing the surface.
  8. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Transfer brownies to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature. Remove cooled brownies from the pan by lifting the foil overhang. Cut into 2-inch squares. Serve immediately or store, in an airtight container, at room temperature, up to 3 days.
  10. Enjoy!

Thanks to Bob’s Red Mill and their Gluten Free 1:1 Baking Flour, you can have your gluten free cake, and enjoy it too!

I’m obsessed with Bob’s Red Mill…you know this. I’ve been working with them a few years and I’m just so proud of being associated with such a fabulous and quality company. My all-time favorite product is this Gluten Free Flour.

I recently took these brownies to a church BBQ and people raved about them. They could not believe they were gluten free. It’s literally all thanks to Bob’s!

Do gluten-free brownies taste good?

Unfortunately for those that are sensitive to gluten, it can sometimes mean missing out on delicious baked goods, but with this recipe, you are in luck!

No one guessed that these were gluten free, in fact they went down such a storm that I have been ordered to make another batch immediately!

Can gluten-free brownies be frozen?

These brownies freeze really well, so make a huge batch for easy treats! Straight up freezing the brownies can affect their fudgy texture, so it’s best to either pop the individual brownies in ziplock bags, or you can wrap the whole baking sheet in plastic wrap, then foil and put in a large freezer bag.

Uneaten brownies (if there is such a thing!) can be stored in an air tight container for about 3 days.

Can you sub gluten flour for regular?

If gluten isn’t an issue for you (or the people you are feeding the brownies to!) you can sub in regular flour. The beauty of the gluten-free flour that I used is that it’s a 1:1 ratio to all purpose flour, so it’s an easy swap should you chose to make it. THANK YOU BOB’S RED MILL!!!

Top tips for making the Best Gluten Free Brownies Recipe

  • Be sure to pre-heat your oven.
  • Line your baking tray with foil that is longer than the tray so there is overhang for easy removal.
  • Do be patient and let the brownies cool to room temperature before cutting them.

Becky’s Tips

  • NOTE: For the pictures, I used a smaller baking pan, 8x9 inches. This creates thicker and more decadent brownies! If you decide to make yours thicker too, bake time is 40-45 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness.
  • Be sure to pre-heat your oven.
  • Line your baking tray with foil that is longer than the tray so there is overhang for easy removal.
  • Do be patient and let the brownies cool to room temperature before cutting them.
  • Because Bob’s Red Mill is a 1:1 flour, you can easily make these brownies gluten-full by subbing in regular all-purpose flour.
  • Feel free to use milk or dark chocolate chips in place of the semisweet chips. I do not, however, recommend replacing the unsweetened chocolate.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.

Essential Grocery List

It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!

It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.

However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.

In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.

I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
