Best Gluten Free Flour
I’ve found that this recipe works with a lot of different gluten free flours. Try to find one that isn’t heavy on nuts or potato flours as they can be too heavy and won’t get the chewy texture that brownies should have.
My favorite flours to use in this recipe are:
Allergy Variations
To make this recipe dairy free, replace the dairy butter with an equal amount of your favorite non-dairy butter. My personal favorite is the soy free Earth Balance.
While I haven’t made this recipe egg free (yet!) you could try replacing 2 eggs with 2 flax seed eggs.
Brownie Tips
The best brownies are made when you don’t open the oven door while baking. You want as much moisture in the oven as possible while baking so no matter how tempting, don’t peek! Let the brownies bake for at least 30 minutes before opening the oven door.
How to Store
Brownies will keep on the countertop in a container for up to 5 days. They can be frozen after baking when well wrapped in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before serving from frozen.
