- Are you looking for some extra fudgy double chocolate gluten-free brownies (small batch) that are rich and gooey, with melted chocolate and cocoa powder for a double chocolate hit!
PREPARATION TIME:
- PREP 15 minutes
- COOK 20 minutes
- TOTAL 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 ½ ounces milk or dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
- 3¾ ounces dark brown sugar
- 2 medium-sized eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2¼ ounces ground almonds
- 1¾ ounces ounces cocoa powder, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Line a shallow 6 inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
- Place some water into a saucepan and heat to simmering.
- Place a suitably sized bowl into your saucepan, making sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Into the bowl place the chocolate and butter and allow to gently melt together, stirring to make a smooth, velvety consistency.
-
Remove the bowl from the saucepan and add the dark brown sugar and beat together until the sugar has dissolved. Beating the sugar when the chocolate and butter mixture is still warm helps to melt the sugar faster, which will also give the brownies the crackly crust on the top.
-
Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs.
-
Add the eggs and vanilla paste – by all means beat the eggs first before adding, but I just add them to the chocolate/butter/sugar mixture and beat in really well.
-
Add the ground almonds to the bowl with the sifted cocoa powder.
-
Stir to mix in well, making sure all is well combined.
-
Pour into the prepared cake pan and smooth off the surface.
-
Bake for around 20 minutes until firm but still a little soft. Do not overbake, you will lose the fudgy centre!
-
Leave to cool once out of the oven and cut into 16 perfect little squares.

If you have children, make sure you test them before they get home from school/college/work, all in the interests of
