These are no ordinary brownies. Think of them as a thinner chocolate torte… creamy, rich and decadent. When we were at our favorite breakfast spot on Sunday, they were sampling their new brownies.

I immediately knew something was missing, and I loved every taste of it! So the quest began and these moist, melt in your mouth brownies were concocted.

Gluten Free Brownie Recipe

Because these brownies have no flour in them, they are grain free and gluten free. They are perfect to make if you or anyone in your family have intolerances, or if you are entertaining someone who does.

These brownies are a real crowd pleaser and are perfectly at home when served as a dessert for a dinner party.

How Long Do Flourless Brownies Keep?

  • Room Temperature – At room temperature, they will keep for around 4 days and up to a week in the fridge.
  • Refrigerator – Once the brownies are cooled and cut, place them in an airtight container with layers separated by parchment.
  • Freezer – You can also freeze brownies, wrap the slices individually in plastic wrap and foil and stack in an airtight container. They will be good for up to a month.

Tips for Making Flourless Brownies

  • The toothpick test doesn’t work on flourless desserts. Instead, to ensure it’s thoroughly baked, do the touch test. If it bounces back to the touch, it’s ready! If it looks like jello in the center, add a little more time.
  • Thoroughly grease baking dish before pouring mixture in. This is my go to baking spray.
  • Store covered at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated.

    1. Liz, it is fine because the water is added before the chocolate chips are melted. If the water was added after, it would then seize up.
