How to make Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Brownies
Instructions
Follow the method of your original brownie recipe.
For gluten-free brownies, swap the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour.
For dairy-free brownies, use refined coconut oil or dairy-free butter and dairy-free chocolate.
If combining both, use almond flour or GF flour, coconut oil or dairy-free butter, and dairy-free chocolate.
Do not skip the resting period after baking. Gluten-free brownies firm up as they cool.

Tips & Tricks
Almond flour will give a dense and moist texture.
A gluten-free 1:1 baking flour will give a texture closer to traditional brownies.
Refined coconut oil will not taste coconutty.
If you want to skip the eggs, use flax eggs: 1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water. Let sit for 5 minutes before using.
FAQS
Can I use other types of gluten-free flour?
Yes, you can use other gluten-free flour blends. However, almond flour provides a dense and moist texture, while a 1:1 gluten-free blend will give a texture closer to traditional brownies.
What is the best dairy-free chocolate to use?
Enjoy Life and Hu are excellent dairy-free chocolate options. Ensure that the chocolate is also gluten-free if you are making gluten-free brownies.
Why is resting time important after baking?
The resting time is crucial, especially for gluten-free brownies, as they firm up as they cool. This allows the brownies to achieve the perfect consistency and texture.
Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter?
Yes, feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture. Make sure any additions are also gluten-free and/or dairy-free if needed.
How do I store the brownies?
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
