No Flour Is Used In These Delectable Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Recipe!

So wait…no flour?  UH OH…I used to have a weird curiosity of baking goods with no flour when it comes to brownies.  It can be a challenge, due to the fact, flour acts as a medium to combine the ingredients together and it’s needed for consistency. It is the main binding ingredient, that gives baked goods their texture and volume needed to add extra thickness.

 So began “The Challenge!” and curiosityI wanted to bake brownies that had no flour in them, and in the past, whenever I bake anything flourless, it never quite turns out how I’m expecting it too when it comes to brownies! 

The texture was off, the baking was off…ugh.  Ugly.  There has to be a solution to all this madness and yes there is a solution! 

Would you believe the secret to this chocolate flourless brownie recipe to give it that moist, fudgy texture is ‘cornstarch’ and not flour?  Cornstarch thickens, so there ya go!

The rule is, cornstarch has the same “thickening power” as arrowroot, potato starch and tapioca, and you should substitute the same amount to keep it gluten free.  If you choose to use one of those options instead, let me know how it works out would ya?  I’ve only tried it with cornstarch.

How to Make The Rich Fudgy Flourless Milk Chocolate Brownie Batter 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a 9×13 inch pan with foil or parchment paper, then lightly spray with a non-stick spray and set aside. If wanting a half batch, divide the recipe in half for a 9×9 sized pan. 
  3. Over low heat or use microwaving, melt the butter, then add the sugar. Once the sugar has been blended in, add the milk chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. 
  4. Remove from oven/stove and let cool down a few minutes before adding the eggs, one at a time mixing them in, then add in the coffee or vanilla extract.
  5. Using a sifter or sieve, sift the cocoa powder and cornstarch into the saucepan, then add the salt. Using a mixer or whisk the batter vigorously until it’s looks shiny and smooth.

Baking The Gluten Free Brownies

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 22-28 minutes for a 9×13 pan or 32-38 minutes for a 9×9 pan (for 1/2 batch) until the brownies are set.  You can jiggle the brownies to check for doneness for the top of the brownies.  Do not over-bake or the brownies will become crumbly and dry.

Let Brownies Set Up 

  1. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 45 minutes before removing and slicing. It’s important to do this so they set up.

  1. Slight changes to make them less sweet.

    Use dark chocolate preferably ethically produced.

    – Almond flour in place 9of cornstatch

    – skip the sugar altogether

  2. Hi Kati! You could reduce some of the sugar and butter, but the texture may not be as fudgy. Maybe reduce 1/2 cup sugar at the most and the butter by a couple of tablespoons, but uou could also try a sugar-free sugar if you are worried about the sugar content. Hope that helps!

  3. What would happen if you reduce butter and sugar in the recipe? Would the chocolate chips make up the difference for the fats and sugars, just being less sweet? Thank you!

  4. Hi Ashley, Did you add white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to the brownies in addition to the chocolate chips or substitute them?

  5. I tried these. I used 1.75 cups white chocolate chips + 1/4 cups butterscotch chips. Taste is superior. However, its hard to even get that bite to taste it bc it overboiled in oven then flattened. And it has so much butter (1.5 sticks) that it was floating in it. So totally undercooked, even thou baked full time and sat for 1 hr untouched. What did I do wrong? I have gone over it a million times.

  6. This recipe halved for a smaller pan matches with DO’s , with the addition of salt!

  7. Hi Winnie! Thanks so much and I hope your niece likes them. I was just over on your page and commented on your oatmeal peanut butter and chocolate no bake bars. They look amazing! 🙂
