Unsurpassable gluten free chocolate brownies

This is the best brownie I have ever eaten, gluten or no gluten. It is easy to make and uses dark chocolate (which is better for our microbes than milk or white chocolate).

 

Chocolate brownie


Ingredients

  • 300g dark chocolate (dark means at least 70%)

  • 325g butter

  • 4 eggs

  • 300g soft brown sugar

  • 1tsp vanilla extract

  • 150g plain gluten free flour

  • 75g ground almonds


Method

  1. Heat the oven to 150°C

  2. Grease and grease proof paper line a baking tray/tin.

  3. Melt the chocolate and the butter over a bain marie.

  4. Whilst that is melting, whisk the 4 eggs and the soft brown sugar together in a bowl.

  5. Add the melted chocolate and butter to the eggs/sugar mix and mix well.

  6. Add the vanilla extract.

  7. Sieve the plain gluten-free flour.

  8. Add the flour and the ground almonds to the rest of the ingredients – mix it all together gently.

  9. Pour into the greased and lined tin and bake in the oven at 150°C for 15-25 minutes. Bake just until the chocolate begins to shine and crack on top but still retains a slight wobble to it in the middle. Leave to cool and then see how irresistible it is! I love it with thick Greek youghurt whilst it is still warm.
