I do love chocolate, no doubt about that, but I’m not a huge fan of brownies, especially the dense, fudgy ones. I prefer the more cakey kind of brownies, the fluffy, soft ones and this particular recipe yields just that. Plus, it’s gluten-free and lactose free, just perfect for your special gluten-free diet or for those intolerant to lactose.

Even though these brownies have no gluten, they are rich and moist, packed with chocolate and have an intense taste – every chocoholic’s dream, isn’t it?! The recipe is simple and straight forward and I decided to keep them that way till the end, therefore no glaze was added. Looking back now though, I think maybe a drizzle of chocolate would have been nice, but there will surely be a next time to make these gluten free brownies so worry not!



{Gluten Free Brownies} Print Author: Olguta - Pastry Workshop Ingredients: 60g dark chocolate, chopped (at least 70% cocoa)

125ml coconut oil (or other neutral vegetable oil)

3 eggs

120g dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

70g gluten-free flour blend

70g Dutch processed cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt Directions: Pre-heat your oven to 350F - 180C and line a small square baking tray with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl over a hot water bath then place aside. Mix the eggs with sugar until triple in volume then stir in the vanilla, followed by the melted chocolate and oil. Combine the flour blend, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl and gradually fold this mixture into the batter. Pour the batter in your prepared baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is set. Don't overbake them as they tend to dry out. Allow to cool in the pan then cut into small squares.

Da, sunt o mare ciocolatoasa, dar surprinzator, pana acum pe acest blog nu exista nicio reteta de brownies. Poate si pentru ca retetele incercate pana acum nu mi-au placut. Nu sunt o mare fana a acelor brownies dense, aproape ca o ciocolata de casa, indesate, le prefer pe cele care au o consistenta mai pufoasa si am tot cautat reteta perfecta, incercarile precedente nefiind pe placul meu. E o chestie de gust, brownies fiind prin definitie mai dense decat alte prajituri. Insa reteta aceasta m-a surprins intr-un mod foarte placut – nu doar ca nu are gluten sau lactoza, dar e si foarte pufoasa, aromata, ciocolatoasa… ce sa mai, visul oricarui amator de ciocolata care nu se poate atinge de produse cu gluten ori lactoza si nu numai, ele fiind delicioase oricum!

Ingrediente:

60g ciocolata neagra, tocata (cititi eticheta sa fie fara lactate daca suferiti de intoleranta la lactoza)

125ml ulei de cocos (sau alt ulei vegetal cu gust neutru)

3 oua

120g zahar brun

1 lingurita extract de vanilie

70g mix de faina fara gluten Dr Schar

70g cacao

1/4 lingurita sare

1/4 lingurita bicarbonat

Mod de preparare:
