Flourless chocolate brownies are pure goodness. Imagine bites of brownies that are rich, fudgy and gooey. They melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more. These brownies are super soft and moist yet easy to cut. They hold their shape pretty well and have a crackly top. In other words, basically a chocolate lover’s dream come true!
What I love the most about these easy flourless brownies is that you can make them with only six ingredients and none of them are difficult to find, which makes this an ideal midnight snack when you’re craving chocolate.

Flourless chocolate brownies ingredients
To make brownies without flour, you need the following ingredients:
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar and granulated sugar
- Chocolate chips
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Cocoa powder
- Cornstarch
How to make flourless brownies
Preheat the oven and coat the baking pan with a nonstick spray. Line the baking pan with a parchment paper and set it aside. In a sauce pan, melt butter, chocolate and sugar over medium heat until they’re completely melted and combined. Let the mixture cool for a few minute and then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add in vanilla and cocoa powder and mix well. Transfer the batter into the pan and bake for about 25 minutes.
How do you know when the brownies are done?
The top of the brownies will be completely set when they’re done and if you insert a toothpick in the middle of the brownie, it’ll come out with a few to no crumbs.
Notes and tips for this recipe:
- You can use margarine instead of unsalted butter to make these brownies. There will be no change in the texture or flavor.
- Melt the butter, sugars and chocolate in a sauce pan over medium heat and don’t use a microwave to melt the ingredients. Sometimes, melting in the microwave will make the chocolate grainy and the sugar might not dissolve completely.
- Make sure you’re using a brand of chocolate chips that you love and trust. If you have a favorite chocolate bar brand such as Lindt or Ghirardelli, use it!
- Make sure all the ingredients are well mixed. Since this flourless brownie recipe has no leavening agent such as baking powder, overmixing won’t cause a problem.
- Don’t over bake the brownies otherwise they will be hard and grainy.
- Want to go over the top? Frost these brownies with this easy chocolate frosting!

Made this with sugar free chocolate chips, and all monk fruit sugars, added pecans, unsweetened coconut, and sugar free caramel swirled in and were better than any flour brownie I’ve ever had and totally sugar free! Thank you for this great recipe! Any ideas how one could add protein to it? Powder? Cottage cheese. Looking to make it the perfect cheat food!
I must have tried a dozen gluten free brownie recipes-this is by far the BEST!!!
