    Why this flourless brownie recipe works

    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.

    Are flourless brownies gluten free?

    Yes! Since there's no flour in these brownies, they're considered gluten free. The combination of cocoa powder and chocolate make these brownies intense and rich yet soft and fudgy. 

    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

    To make brownies without flour, you need the following ingredients:

    • Unsalted butter or margarine
    • Brown sugar and granulated sugar
    • Chocolate chips 
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla 
    • Cocoa powder

    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!

        This is a pretty delicate recipe so I don't recommend making any changes.

      Hard to rate fairly at the moment since I made them without table sugar and they tasted runny and gross. BUT I saw some comments and realized I didn't add the table sugar in so I am going to make them again and see what a difference, if any, the table sugar makes after adding them in and baking. Will update soon.

        I forgot to add that in order to save the outcome of the current runny ones I made (instead of throwing it away) is I added 1/2 cup of flour and baked them for 20 min. They turned out more formed and tasted somewhat better but not as formed as the pics you have, but again, I didn't see to add in table sugar so I will try the recipe one more time since that was definitely my error and I want to give it a fair rating. Will update soon.

      I loved the taste and fudginess...but, I simply could not get them to come cleanly off the parchment paper even after hours of cooling. I wound up with a frustrating mess of crumbly brownie pieces. Is there another helpful tip for this recipe, like put them in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing? I've made the Godiva flourless chocolate torte (an excellent product, btw) and refrigeration is required before serving.

        Hi Pam, refrigerating could help. We are testing this recipe again to see if there are other reason some of our readers have experienced difficulties with this recipe.

      Can salted butter be used instead of unsalted?

        You can, however keep in mind that the flavor might change a bit because of the amount of salt in the butter.
