WHY GLUTEN FREE BROWNIES
I love this particular brownie recipe because it’s intensely chocolatey and very fudgy—not stick to your mouth fudgy but a nice chewy fudgy.
I use oat flour for these gluten free brownies and that’s because I want them to be slightly boosted with fibre. Plus the texture is just the same as with regular AP flour.
The reason I probably made that switch to oat flour was because a friend of mine was visiting who has celiac. The easiest and most fool proof dessert to make for her are those gluten free brownies! They taste and have the same texture as any other brownie you crave!
MAKE GLUTEN FREE BROWNIES
It takes a bowl, a whisk, a few ingredients and 20 minutes to bake into your go to brownies recipe!
I’ve made brownies quite a few hundred times and I can say that a good brownie recipe is like a good friend—it can cheer you up and last forever!
You’ll add in all ingredients in a bowl. And use a whisk to blend them well. It starts with one microwave safe bowl, you add in the chocolate pieces, butter and oil and melt them all together. Then you grab a whisk and mix in the sugar, eggs, coco powder and oat flour.
I love adding hazelnuts to it because you’ve probably guessed by now, I love hazelnuts and chocolate together. And then there’s the chocolate chips, because, well you got to have chocolate chips in your brownies. This is my all time favorite combo which you’ll notice in those Brownie Cookies too!
I probably need to add this disclaimer about the raisins.
When it comes to the raisins as unusual as it may sound (especially to my not so raisin friendly sister), they add a touch of sweetness and a nice chew with very minimal close to none raisin flavor. I mean how can any other flavor shine with all this chocolate brownie goodness?
Adding some oil in my brownies, although using all butter does add much flavor (I admit—before you start judging), the oil adds a nice chew and much needed hearty texture which helps me cut down the amount of flour.
Finally, when you cut down the flour here because I get a richer chocolate-y flavor, and a fudgy smooth texture.
I’ve made it these super loaded fudgy brownies with all purpose flour and they’re just as perfect as they are with gluten free oat flour. I now prefer it with the oat flour because it’s a little healthier.
If you’ve ever made brownies before, you’ll know how easy and simple they are. If not, be prepared to be pleasantly surprised 🙂
Don’t by any means over bake your brownies, it’s almost a crime to that fudgy smooth texture you’re longing for! And don’t slice the brownies when hot right out of the oven. As hard as it probably will be, you’ll need to wait 5 minutes.
Best way is to lift the brownies out of the pan with the parchment paper, and slice, bite, grab and enjoy!:)
