    (Gluten-Free!) Bittersweet Whiskey Brownies

    Published Mar 5, 2011

    gluten free whiskey chocolate brownies

    My mom likes to say, 'You're entitled to your own opinion, even if it's wrong.' As a psychologist specializing in subjectivity, she should know.

    melting chocolate in a bowl

    But it seems there is an area in which only one opinion counts, and that is the hotly debated issue of cakey vs. fudgy brownies.

    mix in a bowl

    Or is it REALLY hotly debated???

    brownie mix being stirred

    Nearly every brownie recipe header I've read begins with something akin to, 'Some people like their brownies cakey, but we prefer them rich and fudgy, so here's a recipe for you superior bakers who are smart enough to know better.'

    brownie mix being poured into a baking dish

    Are there really people out there who like cakey brownies, or is this just an ego-stroking myth perpetuated by the fudgy brownie lobby to make us feel banded together against some common, imaginary foe? Isn't the whole point of brownies that they are rich, dense, chocolaty and gooey? Wouldn't you just make a chocolate cake if you wanted something 'cakey?'

    chocolate brownie mix pre baking

    When I was a kid and would make brownies from the box, I would always choose the 'fudgy' option over 'cakey,' which entailed adding an extra egg, and I remain true to my fudgy preference today. (Though of course I wouldn't admit otherwise lest you think me hopelessly uncool.)

    But along comes Alice Medrich with this 'New Bittersweet Brownie' recipe to shake everything up. These brownies aren't exactly fudgy, though they do satisfy the über-chocolate craving that often plagues fudgy brownie-lovers. But they aren't cakey, either. Nor are they 'chewy,' the newest category of brownie to emerge on the scene. Their texture most closely resembles a fluffy-dense flourless chocolate cake, but not the gag-me-rich, truffle-ganache sort; the type that has some air whipped into it so that it comes out delicate and manageable. Alice Medrich describes them as being 'mousse-like', and they do have a delicate, airy-ness to them, but 'moussey brownies' don't sound particularly appealing. 'Whipped brownies?' 'Really friggin' awesomely delicious brownies?' I'm at a loss.

    Perhaps they just need to be in a class by themselves.

    Categories and pigeon-holing aside, let's talk about why these brownies are so awesome:

    • They are packed with a full 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate. I used the 70% cacao mass stuff I get in bulk at Rainbow, and I can say that it is some of the best chocolate I've ever tasted: fruity, mild, complex, deep and dark but never bitter.
    • Whole eggs are whipped with salt and a demure amount of sugar (1 cup, whereas some fudgy brownie recipes call for double that amount) until light and fluffy, creating the superbly uncategorizeable, light-yet-dense texture I keep going on about.
    • A scant amount of flour, no leavening, and just the right amount of butter (3 ounces) contribute to this gorgeousness.
    • I add in a hearty slug of whiskey to give them a little je ne sais quoi. Well, actually, I do know what: to add a complex tang which complements the chocolate flavor without taking over.
    • If you thought it couldn't get any better, I made these gluten-free, although you would never know it if you tasted them and I didn't tell you.

    I think Ms. Medrich says it best: 'On a plate, with a fork and a dollop of cream, these are definitely dessert.'

    So, if you give these brownies a go, and have an idea of what to call them, please let me know. Just be sure not to over-bake them, as this can lead to 'accidentally cakey brownies.'

    (Gluten-Free!) Bittersweet Whiskey Brownies

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Quite possibly the best gluten-free brownies you will ever have!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 30 minutes
    Total: 45 minutes
    Servings: 16 brownies.

    Ingredients

    • 3 ounces unsalted butter, sliced (6 tablespoons, 3/4 stick)
    • 8 ounces bittersweet (I use 70% cacao mass) chocolate, chopped (a scant 2 cups)
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup sugar (7 ounces)
    • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup sweet white rice flour (sometimes called 'sticky' or 'glutinous') (1 3/4 ounces)

    Instructions

    • Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350º. Line an 8x8" square pan with 2 criss-crossed parchment slings so that the bottom and all of the sides are covered, with an inch or so of parchment hanging over the sides (see photos above). (Lacking parchment, you can use heavy-duty aluminum foil instead, or simply grease the pan.)
    • In a small saucepan, place first the butter and then the chocolate; melt togetherover very low heat, watching the pot like a hawk and stirring frequently so as not to scorch the chocolate (alternately, you can do this in a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water). When the mixture is completely melted and very warm, remove from the heat.
    • Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together the eggs, sugar and salt on medium-high speed until the mixture is very thick, pale and fluffy, 3 - 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the whiskey and vanilla, then the chocolate mixture. Sift the flour if lumpy, sprinkle it over the batter, and mix on low until combined. Remove the bowl from the stand and give it a few stirs by hand, scraping the sides and bottom, to make sure it is thoroughly combined.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and stick it in the oven. Bake until the brownie is pulling away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few wet crumbs but no gooey batter, 25-30 minutes. (These brownies are best baked a little further than most; underbaked, the texture is overly dense.)
    • Cool the brownies completely in the pan. (For the cleanest cuts, you can chill the brownies in the fridge for an hour or two, or up to several days.)
    • Use the parchment as handles to lift the brownie out of the pan, and cut into sixteen 2" squares using a chef's knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean and dry after every cut.
    • The brownies keep well for up to 5 days, stored at room temp in an airtight container.

    Notes

    Adapted from Chewy, Gooey, Crispy, Crunchy Cookies, by Alice Medrich.
    If you are extremely sensitive to gluten, you may want to substitute a liquor that you know for a fact to be gluten-free for the whiskey, as whiskey is distilled from grains, or leave it out altogether.
    If gluten is a non-issue for you, feel free to substitute 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for the rice flour. Sticky rice flour is the key ingredient here; regular rice flour will make crumbly brownies that refuse to hold together. Sometimes called "sweet" or "glutinous," sticky rice flour is available at most well-stocked grocers. I usually use Mochiko brand. It is magic.
    The trick to getting the crusty top on the brownies is having the melted butter and chocolate quite warm when you add it to the egg mixture (but not scorching hot). As these brownies are mainly chocolate, use a high quality baking chocolate that you like the taste of. Scharffenberger, Guittard and Valrhona are all excellent brands.
    Nutritional values are based on one of sixteen brownies.

      I want to have a constant supply of these delivered to my mouth, please. Like, one an hour, maybe?

      Or...can they be injected through an IV? We could maybe just put them on a slow drip.

      Alanna, these are SO GOOD. In a "they wouldn't be better with wheat flour" kind of way, and you know how much I love my wheat.

      I'm going to Rainbow tomorrow after work to buy chocolate. Yes.

        If I were to add 3 tablespoons more whiskey, I would also add 3 tablespoons more flour to absorb the extra moisture. That's my best guess. Please let us know if you give it a shot (or 3).

        Yikes, I've never tried that liqueur, so I'm not sure how sweet it is. The brownies aren't super sweet, so you might be fine just adding it as is. Otherwise, try reducing the sugar by the amount of liqueur you add. Let me know how it goes. :)

        There seems to be contention as to whether whiskey does indeed contain gluten. This site says it doesn't: http://www.celiac.com/articles/222/1/Gluten-Free-Alcoholic-Beverages/Page1.html. As I point out in the headnote, if you're worried, trade the whiskey for an alcohol that isn't made from grains, such as dark rum.

      Just in the reading stage, but these sound very rich and gooey good. I just have a tip that I learned from my sister-n-law Carla, try cutting brownies with a cheap plastic knife from a fast food joint...we now have several at the 4H stand to cut our brownies. You just keep cutting, no need to wipe the blade until the pan is done, and no crumby edges. Try it. Lorrie

      I do not exaggerate at all when I say that these are the best GF brownies I've tried yet. And I used to bake and sell GF brownies (and other goodies) on Etsy, so that's saying something. This is definitely a recipe I will be making again and again. Mine turned out a little darker than yours, which I attribute to the fact that I used unsweetened chocolate and half the sugar was brown (lots of "making do" to get these puppies in the oven!). Also added a little extra sugar to the melted chocolate/butter since my chocolate was unsweetened instead of bittersweet. But yes. Will definitely be doing this again. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe!

      Greetings!

      I made these a couple of years back. But it's foggy - they tasted really good, but I have a question about them. I was wondering if you thought they'd hold up in a 6" cake pan, which I would layer. Maybe three layers worth?

      Maybe I should make a chocolate cake instead? It's my partner's 40th birthday, and we are having an ice cream sundae bar, but I thought a cake would be sweet. :-)

          I was thinking layers and then maybe powdered sugar. The frosting is actually the problem. He’s got T1 diabetes and it’s always so much sugar, the frosting. But I suppose you’re right, frosting would make it tasty. :-)

          I will check out the cake!

          I should just make a brownie stack with a candle like your other brownies are doing. That is adorable!

        Hi Lea! Hmmm that's a great question! I think aquafaba would be a better bet since you can sort of whip them up like eggs? But I'm not totally sure. If you experiment I would try a half batch - you can bake them in a loaf pan or in muffin tins - just in case it doesn't work. Please let me know if you try!

        Hi Katie, you could certainly try almond flour, though it isn't as absorbent as sweet rice flour, so you may need to add more flour and/or adjust the baking time. Please let me know if you give it a try!

      These are exquisite.
      I’ve made them with my homemade Nocino in place of the whiskey - recommended.
      I’ve subbed the vanilla with whiskey and topped them with dollops of whiskey-infused maple cream cheese icing - recommended.
      I’ve dusted them with powdered sugar - recommended.

      Love this recipe.

      Hi Alanna, tried with the sweet rice flour and was a success. Everyone loved and raved so much about it. Another attempt with plain flour, and it turned out to be a bit flaky. I realized the flour type has a part to play in overall texture.

        Oh interesting! That's helpful to know. By plain flour you mean all-purpose wheat flour? I'm so glad everyone loved the gluten-free version at least! :)

      Hello! Is this recipe safe for children too? Does the whiskey get baked out? Thanks!

        Yes, the alcohol cooks out as it bakes! But if you're making it for kids, they might not love that flavor, so you can also just leave it out or sub with a little decaf coffee. Let me know what you try!

    Cherry recipe du jour because #cherryseason: roast Cherry recipe du jour because #cherryseason: roasted cherry ice cream sandwiches with GF double chocolate buckwheat cookies 😋

Here fresh cherries are roasted in sugar and bourbon, pitted and chopped, and mixed with more bourbon. This process releases water and condenses flavor, making a chunky compote that stays soft when frozen into a vanilla ice cream base. 

When sandwiched between these super-chocolatey cookies, the effect is downright addictive. And just the thing for the warm weather we’re currently having in California!☀️

Bojon appétit!

    Next up for 🍒 week: gluten-free cherry clafouti Next up for 🍒 week: gluten-free cherry clafoutis! 

This French baked custard studded with juicy cherries infused with brandy or whiskey sits somewhere between a dutch baby and a pudding cake. Fresh cherries meet vanilla scented almond flour batter in this easy peasy summer dessert. Bliss!

For dairy-free, replace the milk and cream with full-fat coconut milk and use vegan butter. 

Bojon appétit! 🍒

    It’s cherry season in California so I’m sharin It’s cherry season in California so I’m sharing a few favorite ways to use them from TBG this week. 🍒

Up first: tart cherry Eton mess with poppyseed almond meringues

These lightly caramelized meringues have a delightful crunch against tangy whipped yogurt and tart cherry compote. Pretty much my dream dessert right here! 

Use sweet cherries if sour cherries aren’t available. Use rich coconut yogurt instead of dairy to make this DF.

    Sharing the recipe for these GF almond flour madel Sharing the recipe for these GF almond flour madeleines today in honor of my mom Madeline! 
*sponsored

These look fancy, but they're actually super simple to make with vanilla-flecked brown butter and a trio of @bobsredmill GF flours that work together to create a dreamy texture. Warm from the oven, these are crispy on the outside with tender middles bursting with butterscotch notes. 

Whip up a batch in under an hour to feel like you just stepped into a posh Parisian patisserie.

    Sharing this green goddess potato salad in honor o Sharing this green goddess potato salad in honor of #earthday (which is literally every day because this is where most of us spend every second of our lives!) 

At the start of the pandemic, Jay and I started going hiking and forest bathing every week. We always pack lots of snacks and take plenty of time to immerse ourselves in our surroundings. We often spend hours sitting on a blanket, watching the birds and lizards, the way the light plays off of the water, listening to the sound of the breeze and birdsong. I guess it’s actually closer to extreme picnicking than hiking! 

This herbaceous potato salad is one of our favorite lunches to pack. It has protein from jammy boiled eggs, crunchy veggies, creamy potatoes, and a kicky dressing. 

Throw some in a to-go container packed in a cooler and you’ll have a nourishing meal anywhere you like. 

Enjoy this beautiful planet! 🌏🌲🍃
