Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies
About this recipe:
When you make these delicious chocolate brownies nobody will guess they are gluten free! This has been one of our most often requested gluten free recipes that first appeared on our flour pack back in 2000. For brownies that are squishy in the middle use a short cooking time for firmer brownies simply cook for longer.

180ΛC, Fan 160ΛC, 350ΛF, Gas 4
- Pre-heat the oven.
- Rub some butter around the inside of a 15x20cm/6×8″ baking dish or insert a baking liner.

- Break the eggs into a large bowl, beat to combine then beat in the flour mix.

I cooked this for 30 mins, and the top looked crisp and firm. However, skewer came out wet, but I assumed it would harden up on cooling. But even after cooling, still wet inside; more pudding than Brownie. Still delicious, but next time I will give it a lower heat and more like 50 minutes!

Really like these brownies. Iβve made them several times now and with my oven they donβt take as long but it is a new oven so it could just be me getting used to it. Thanks for another great recipe to help soothe the frustrations of being gluten intolerant.

A delicious and easy recipe. I used 85 per cent chocolate for a deeper flavour and sprinkled chopped walnuts over the top before baking.

I first made these when my Dad whoβs Coeliac was coming for tea, but I now make them all the time and itβs my standard brownie recipe. They come out brilliantly every time. I use 100g caster sugar and 100g light soft brown sugar which gives a lovely fudgy texture. I guess the cooking time will vary depending on your oven and how soft you like your brownies but I do 24 mins every time and itβs always just right. They are delicious eaten warm straight from the oven, or cold as a snack, or reheated. Really nice served warm with ice cream.

This is my go to recipe for brownies. They are very popular with friends and family! I usually make it dairy free using coconut oil instead of butter. I also add extra cocoa powder just because i can... makes it extra chocolatey. Ive made it Vegan by using flax eggs. It was a bit oily the first day then it al seemed to be reabsorbed and I'm told it was delicious as it was for a friend. I often add nuts, ginger or a dried fruit like cherry or cranberry. Its a super forgiving recipe... Doves Farm Thank you for this lovely treat xxx

We have been making this recipe for the last 7 years it is the best brownie recipe we have made. It has never failed and as other reviewers say it is slightly gooey with a crispy top, light and deliciously chocolatey. We love it and it is so easy to make. Thank you for a brilliant recipe.

Fabulous Delicious Brownies! Made these 17th January 2021, perfect remedy for these difficult times! I needed a chocolate boost and had been craving chocolate! Easy to make and I didnβt have quite the right size pan so used what I had, 7in x 10in. Worked perfectly! Lovely depth of soft slightly fudgy brownie. Left in the oven for 20mins at 165C fan. Tester came out with no crumbs but they were perfect, not too dry at all. I didnβt add nuts either. I donβt think these will last tomorrow and there is only 2 of us! Other half is supposedly not a chocolate fiend, but these are so delicious he canβt resist! Gluten free but you can not tell! Thank you Doves! I am actually in France and bring your flour back, have ordered too when possible. I have Multiple Sclerosis and gluten doesnβt like me I have discovered! So Doves flour very welcome as I love cake! Stay safe Lulu

I made thise recipe multiple times and they have never disappointed me. The brownies are full of flavour, beautifully rich and I love that the top goes a bit crisp and then crumbly. I tried other gluten free recipes but none of them compares to this one. Absolutely love it. The only thing I did differently is leaving them in the oven longer (might be my oven being a bit weak though).

I use this recipe all of the time. I have the ingredients memoried. If you want them fudgy and gooey, cooke them at a higher temperature in a deeper dish. If you want them spongey cook them at a lower temp in a shallow dish. Perfect every time.

Amazing brownie recipe! Would never be able to tell theyβre gluten free. But the oven timing was way off for me. It took closer to an hour than 25 mins. The best indicator for me was to test with a toothpick in the centre - if the batter sticks to the toothpick like choc sauce, itβs underbaked. If it comes out clean, itβs overbaked. If it comes out with some crumbs stuck to it, itβs done. The brownies also cannot be immediately eaten, you HAVE to let them sit for a few hours to completely cool! I left mine overnight and the next day they were absolutely perfect.

Tasty recipe thanks. I was surprised something almost entirely comprised of liquid could set & rise like that! They are more cakey than a cafe brownie tho, I might add chunks of chocolate next time to try to get them more dense? Or maybe soft brown sugar?

As I use pretty cheap choc which is low in cocoa solids (e.g. Sainsbury's basics), I also add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder to make it a bit darker and more chocolatey

I'm a student and so often there's not much real butter in the house. Instead, I substitute in vegetable oil with whatever Flora or whatever I can find. Probably not ideal health-wise, but it still makes for an amazing brownie!

Followed recipe to the letter but they were virtually liquid in the middle. Put back in for extra 10 mins and let cool, but still far too runny. Any advice please?

The first time I made these I used granulated sugar and reduced the amount to 150g. As I am allergic to nuts, I used chocolate chips but it was missing some texture. This time I used 150g of soft brown sugar for that extra flavour and I retained about a quarter of the dark chocolate and broke it into rough chunks, adding them to the batter at the same time as you would add the nuts. This gave the brownies the texture I was looking for. I also added a dessertspoon of cocoa powder to the dry mix to make up for the missing chocolate in the batter. After just over 20 mins they were lovely and gooey and the brown sugar made all the difference. The problem now is how to keep them all intact to take away on our holiday tomorrow!

I used doves farm bread flour!. Well.... It is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Baked for 20mins and left in the glass dish for 20minutes on the worktop then removed from glass and left to cool!.. Just right if you like a tiny bit of gooe in the centre!.. I used 85% dark chocolate.

In my son's class there are a number of children with allergies and every cake I made with gluten free flour was just dry and crumbly. I have to use what I can find in Germany - so I did not use Doves Farm. These were wonderful - very moist. I made 3 times the amount on a deep oven tray and cooked it for 45 minutes for school - the nuts were replaced with cookie chocolate drops due to allergies. They were so good I had to make them again for us - just 1 portion at 22 - 25 minutes is perfect.

These are amazing. I omit the nuts and add 50g chocolate chips. They melt a bit but add extra yummyness. I find these are a bit soft to eat the same day as making them (maybe because of the extra chocolate!) so we have them the next day. They keep moist for a few days. Lovely!

After reading some other reviews, we have decided to put forward a suggestion. Instead of using gluten free plain white flour and baking powder, we used gluten free self raising flour. It was much easier and still tasted wonderful! Therefore if you do not have baking powder or gluten free plain white flour you can still make the recipe and not miss out on these fantastic brownies!

This is a very easy recipe, but the cooking time is far too long: hence 4 stars rather than 5. After seeing other reviews saying theirs were overcooked, I baked my first batch for 35 minutes but even then they turned out more like cake. I baked the second batch for 30 minutes and they were better, but I think 25 mins would be about right if you want that lovely fudgy texture. I reduced the sugar to 150gr and added walnuts to one batch and chopped dark chocolate to the other. Both worked very well.

I substituted glace cherries for the nuts, as I cant eat nuts. I also sustituted 50 g of white choc chips for 50g of dark chocolate, as that was what I had in the cupoard.

Really lovely brownies - will definitely be using this recipe again! I echo some of the other comments about the amount of sugar, and if making them again, I might reduce it down to 150g, though these were still very nice. I cooked mine for about 25 minutes, and in the very centre they were goey and lovely, and the outer bits were a bit more cakey, but also very good! For me, I probably wouldn't have left them in for much longer than that, but obviously it depends on your oven/preference!

I made these for the first time and they are great. I don't have a very sweet tooth so I used less sugar and will cut down a bit more next time. I think they need slightly less time in the oven as they were not as moist as they should be in the middle. I like the idea of adding some chocolate chips.

The taste was yummy but I really overcooked mine; I took them out after 30 mins and it was already like a crumbly cake so I would say definitely check yours before then! Also the cake tin size seems a bit wrong, 15 x 20cm is really tiny, I tipped my mixture into a tin that size (I had bought it specially!) and half was still left in the bowl! So maybe the tin size was where I went wrong...
