Combining chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and gluten free flour, this easy recipe delivers a decadent brownie that’s crispy on the edges and soft inside, ideal for satisfying chocolate cravings without gluten.

  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 7 ounces chocolate chips (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-in

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (to mix into the batter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet and melt butter: Place a suitable skillet over low heat and melt the ½ cup unsalted butter until fully melted and smooth, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
  2. Add chocolate chips to melt: Stir in the 7 ounces chocolate chips into the melted butter and continue on low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and combined with the butter.
  3. Mix sugar, eggs and vanilla: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the ¾ cup white sugar, then beat in the 2 eggs one at a time. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup gluten free all purpose baking flour, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon tapioca starch, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients into batter: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture in the skillet, stirring just until combined and smooth.
  6. Add optional chocolate chips: Fold in the optional ½ cup chocolate chips to add extra chocolate texture within the batter.
  7. Cook the brownie in the skillet: Return the skillet to low-medium heat and cook the batter gently. Cook until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm but still slightly gooey; about 15-20 minutes depending on skillet size and heat. Avoid cooking at too high temperature to prevent burning.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the skillet brownie to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm for the best fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results to prevent sticking.
  • Monitor the heat closely while cooking—too high heat can cause burning or uneven cooking.
  • Letting the brownie cool slightly helps it set further and makes it easier to slice.
  • You can top with ice cream or berries for an indulgent dessert.
  • Make sure to use certified gluten free flour to keep the dish gluten free.
