Decadent Flourless Chocolate Brownies (Gluten Free)

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Flourless Chocolate Brownies (Gluten Free).

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab an 8-inch baking pan and give it a loving coat of 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.

3. Step 3

   Next, sprinkle some cocoa powder into the pan, swirling it around to ensure the bottom and sides are evenly coated.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to tap the pan upside down over the sink to shake off any extra cocoa—this will help your brownies come out beautifully.

5. Step 5

   Now, nestle this pan inside a larger baking pan to create a water bath later.

6. Step 6

   For the chocolatey goodness, set up a double boiler.

7. Step 7

   In the top part, combine chopped dark chocolate, 1/4 cup of diced unsalted butter, and a splash of coconut oil.

8. Step 8

   Let it melt gently over simmering water, stirring often until it’s almost fully melted—this should take about 4 to 5 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s looking glossy, take it off the heat and let it cool for a moment.

10. Step 10

    While that’s cooling, fill the same saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.

11. Step 11

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs and white sugar until they’re well blended.

12. Step 12

    In a separate bowl, mix vanilla extract with instant espresso powder until the espresso dissolves completely.

13. Step 13

    Add this delightful mixture to the egg and sugar blend, along with a pinch of salt.

14. Step 14

    Now, stir in the cooled chocolate mixture until everything is beautifully combined.

15. Step 15

    Pour this luscious chocolate batter into your prepared 8-inch pan.

16. Step 16

    Carefully pour the simmering water into the larger pan, creating a warm bath around your brownie pan—this will keep them moist and fudgy as they bake.

17. Step 17

    Slide the whole setup into your preheated oven and let it bake for 52 to 55 minutes.

18. Step 18

    You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with just a few crumbs clinging to it.

19. Step 19

    Once baked, gently lift the 8-inch pan out of the hot water bath.

20. Step 20

    Invert the brownies onto a wire rack lined with parchment paper and let them cool for about 30 minutes.

21. Step 21

    For the best texture, pop them in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours until they’re firm.

22. Step 22

    When you’re ready to indulge, cut them into squares and, if you like, dust them with a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.

23. Step 23

    Enjoy your rich, fudgy brownies—perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own!.
