    Calling all chocolate lovers! There is nothing quite like a warm, gooey, fudgy brownie. I’ve finally found the homemade Best Gluten & Dairy Free Brownies and I’m so excited to share it with you. This is my go to dessert and it is something the whole family will love. This recipe only is quick, easy and makes for a healthy alternative to regular brownies! It only takes 10 minutes to make and you can have warm brownies on the table in under one hour.

    6 gluten free brownies cut up in a baking dish.

    Growing up boxed brownies were my favorite, but they always left me feeling so sick. When I found out I had celiac disease and a dairy intolerance everything started to make sense but I often wondered if I would be able to enjoy any of my favorite foods again. The truth is you can still enjoy all of the goodies when eating gluten and dairy free, you just have to tweak things a bit! This recipe tastes just like one of my favorite childhood treats, yet this modified version leaves me feeling good! It is my go to when we have company along with my Gluten Free Orange Cake, Gluten Free Chocolate Tart, and Gluten and Dairy Free Cake.

    I even have a dog treat recipe on my blog for your fur babies, check out my Liver Cake For Dogs Recipe on my blog. Dogs love this treat. I love making my dog a treat when I make us humans a treat too!

    Ingredients

    Dairy free chocolate brownie ingredients laid out in small glass bowls.
    • Coconut oil- This is a great fat substitute in paleo baking. This helps the top become crackly.

    • Eggs-To bind all of the ingredients together.
    • Coconut sugar-To sweeten the brownies.
    • Almond flour-The base of this recipe. Almond flour is my go to flour with gluten free baking. I like buying it from Costco.
    • Sea salt-To taste.

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • You can use maple sugar in place of coconut sugar. If you are not strictly refined sugar free you can use cane sugar.

    Equipment Needed

    • 8 by 8 casserole dish or something comparable. I love this casserole baking set with the pretty wooden top. If you need to use a different size, keep in mind it will effect how the brownies bake. If you use a bigger pan, the brownies will not need to cook as long because they will not be as thick. If you use a smaller dish, the brownies will be thicker. I do not suggest using a smaller pan. If anything, use a bigger pan and make your brownies thinner!

    • Spatula

    Expert Tips & Tricks

    • Tip # 1: Whisk the eggs and sugar for at least 1 minute to help with the texture of the brownies.
    • Tip # 2: Be sure to spray the casserole dish with cooking spray oil prior to adding the batter.
    • Tip # 3: These brownies can be dense, I recommend letting them sit outside of the refrigerator for an hour prior to cutting.

    Recipe FAQs

    How do I know if brownies are done?

    The best way to tell if the brownies are done is by sticking a toothpick inside them and if it comes out clean they are done.

    How do I prevent the brownies from sticking?

    Be sure to line your baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray oil.

    How do I reheat homemade brownies?

    You can reheat them in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

    Can I make brownies with olive oil?

    Yes! If you are like me and have food intolerances and always have an uneasy stomach, olive oil may be better for you over coconut oil. If you decide you would prefer olive oil, you can substitute it 1:1.

    Storage Instructions

    • You can store this recipe in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
    • I suggest storing this dessert in the fridge, however, take the brownies out one hour prior to eating. Because this recipe has a fudge like layer it will get hard in the fridge, this is why it is best to set out the brownies prior to eating.
