“These are hands down the best flourless brownies I have ever made. My father-in-law has celiacs and I’m always on the hunt for a dessert to serve him. I turned these into a brownie sundae and everyone was so happy! “
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Perfect gooey texture – When I have a brownie I want it to be dense and gooey, not a light, fluffy or cakey brownie. This chocolate brownie recipe is made without any flour so its naturally gluten-free, but also makes perfect gooey brownies
- Easy recipe – You only need to use a few simple ingredients to make these bakery style brownies. Skip the box mix and make elevated brownies with just a few pantry items, butter, and eggs.
- Rich chocolate flavor – These brownies are made with cocoa powder, chocolate AND chocolate chips giving them a super deep and rich chocolate flavor that will keep you coming back for more.
- Make a brownie sundae – serve these as a base for a brownie sundae. I like to add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with a homemade magic shell made by warming 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Pour over cold ice cream and wait for it to harden.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate bar – I usually use a 70% cocoa dark chocolate bar.
- Salted butter – gently melt salted butter with a chopped dark chocolate bar as the base of these delicious brownies.
- Brown sugar – I like to use brown sugar in place of granulated sugar for added richness and moisture.
- Eggs – large eggs beaten with the sugar until light and fluffy is what gives these brownies a natural rise.
- Vanilla extract – I like to use the same amount of vanilla bean paste in place of vanilla extract for a richer, deeper flavor.
- Cocoa powder – You can use unsweetened natural cocoa powder or dutch process cocoa powder. Both work for this recipe.
- Semi sweet chocolate chips – chocolate chips folded into the batter add another level of richness to these double chocolate brownies
- Kosher salt – extra salt mixed into the batter gives this treat the perfect salty sweet balance. I also like to sprinkle flakey sea salt over the top
These flourless chocolate brownies are naturally gluten free. If you want to also make them dairy free you will need to make a few substitutions. Use vegan butter in place of the salted butter and be sure to use dairy free dark chocolate and dairy free chocolate chips.
I have tested this brownie recipe with both white sugar and coconut sugar in place of the brown sugar and they both work great!
How to make Flourless Double Chocolate Brownies
Step 1: Break dark chocolate bar into pieces and melt with the salted butter. In a separate bowl, whip eggs with brown sugar and vanilla until fluffy and light in color.
Step 2: Use a flat spatula to gently fold the butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Be careful not to mix to vigorously to keep some air in the batter.
Step 3: Fold the unsweetened cocoa powder and salt into the batter. Then, mix in the semi sweet chocolate chips.
Step 4: Pour the batter into a lined 8-inch baking pan. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. I like to top it with some flakey sea salt while cooling. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Mad’s Expert Tips for the Best Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies 🍫
- Whip eggs and sugar for a crackly top – to get a delicious crackled top that you know and love, be sure to whip the eggs and brown sugar until frothy and light in color. I like to use an electric hand mixer for this and mix for a minimum of 3 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting – I know it can be SO tempting to dive into a warm plate of brownies, but these flourless brownies are fragile so it is essential to allow them to cool completely before cutting. That gives them time to set and stay together.
- Use a plastic knife to cut into squares – if your brownies always stick to your knife while you are cutting them, try using a plastic knife! For some reason the plastic knife makes clean cuts with much less sticking than a standard metal knife.
- Store leftovers in the fridge – for an extra fudgy texture that is simply irresistible I like to store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Storage
Allow the tin of flourless chocolate brownies to cool completely before slicing into 12 pieces. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
You can store these brownies in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to cut them into squares before freezing the so that I can defrost one brownie at a time.
Defrost these flourless brownies in the fridge or on the counter at room temperature. Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to serve them warm.
