    Gluten-Free Bittersweet Chocolate 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 Chocolate Brownies

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Fudgy without being dense, loaded with chocolate, not too sweet, and with a shiny, crackly top. These are my favorite gluten-free brownies ever!
    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 organic granulated sugar (7 ounces)
    • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons whiskey or other flavorful spirit* (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅓ cup sweet 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 together over very low heat, watching the pot like a hawk and stirring frequently so as not to scorch the chocolate (alternatively, 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, omit the whiskey or use a certified gluten-free version such as Queen Jennie. Or use brandy or dark / spiced rum instead. You can also use espresso instead, or just leave it out altogether. 
    *This recipe works well with many different types of GF flour including teff flour, chestnut flour, or a good GF all-purpose flour blend. Best to substitute by weight if possible. If gluten is a non-issue for you, feel free to substitute 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for the rice flour.
    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.
    Note that if you bake these brownies in a glass pan, the baking time will be longer as glass conducts heat more slowly than metal. 
    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. :)

      If these have whiskey in them, they aren't technically gluten free because whiskey has gluten in it?

        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. :-)

      Thanks for making amazing things!

        Aw thanks for the sweet words! Were you planning to bake the layers in 3 separate pans and then layer with frosting or something? If you wanted to remove the guesswork, you could try this chocolate cake. :)

          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!

      Hey Alanna! Do you think these would work with aquafaba or flax eggs instead of real eggs? We have an open bottle of bourbon that I want to make disappear and I’ve been dreaming of these brownies for like 3 weeks now.

        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!

      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.

      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.

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Egg Scramble for a vibrant filling loaded with eggy, cheesy vibes! 🌈✨
 
This recipe starts with my flaky gluten-free pie crust and a mess of sauteed veggies. For the filling, just blend #hodoeggscramble with plant milk, corn starch, a bit of maple sugar, and baking powder. The sugar balances the flavor, and a pinch of baking powder gives it a bit of fluff. 
 
Whip one up for a satisfying brunch dish everyone can enjoy! Get the recipe @hodofoods.

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
