Watch Me Make Flourless Brownies
Step into my kitchen and see how easy it is to make these delicious flour-free brownies!
Take a Brownie Break
It’s been a busy week with the boys on Spring Break. We decided to stay put this year with no plans but to just have fun! We’ve taken our time getting up and going in the mornings, but once we did, we went non-stop until the sun went down. From one park to the next, from one play date to the next, from one Chick-fil-A to the next, from one movie night in to the next… It’s certainly been a week full of fun, but whew, this mama is tired. I need a brownie…
Flourless and Fabulous
These flourless quick bread recipes are unbelievably delicious! They’re all easily made in the blender with minimal ingredients and you’d never believe they don’t have any flour, butter, oil or granulated sugar in them.
The Real Deal
You’d never believe they’re made with just 5 ingredients and none of which are flour. Super fudgy in the middle with the most perfect crackly crust on top. Seriously, if you follow the instructions, they turn out perfect every single time.
That’s what I love about simple recipes. They’re actually hard to screw up. Just look at the texture going on in these brownies. You’d never believe they’re gluten-free! It was about time I created a good brownie recipe that I can bake for my gluten-free friends and this one literally WOWs! them. I always hate it when I have friends over or take dessert to a party and forget that someone eats gluten-free and they can’t have dessert because all I brought was a big glutenous cake or a platter of gluten-filled cookies. I feel so bad as I eat dessert in front of them, so now I make a point to at least bring something gluten-free for those friends to enjoy.
I already have my amazing Flourless Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and now I have this incredible flourless brownie recipe. Both are such easy recipes and they get rave reviews from everyone, whether they eat gluten-free or not.

How to Make 5-Ingredient Flourless Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth.
- Remove from microwave. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs one at a time until batter is smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder to the mixture and stir until well incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pan.
How to Store Flourless Brownies
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container on the counter for up to five days.
To freeze, I recommend wrapping them individually in plastic wrap then putting in a freezer-safe container or in individual freezer-safe baggies. To defrost frozen brownies, let them set at room temperature, uncovered, so they don’t absorb too much of the moisture.

Hi, Sharon! Ooooh, those are great additions. Sounds delicious. I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Can I double these and bake them in a 9-13 pan?
Hi Candace! Absolutely! I love the way you bake 😉 the baking time should be the same. Enjoy!
This recipe blew my mind. Couldn’t believe how great it turned out. I thought I would taste the eggs for sure like in some choc recipes but boy was I wrong. I couldn’t tell that there was no flour in it. This will be my go to recipe going forward.

Super easy. Heaven!! My new go-to brownie recipe.

I substituted Lily’s Stevia sweetened milk chocolate chips and 1 cup of Swerve. They came out delicious. I only baked 25 minutes, but would recommend checking them at 20.

Thank you for this recipe, it is just what I was looking for! They came out great and got rave reviews.
My only changes were to add some salt and vanilla.

Hi there! Can use cacao powder 1:1?
Hi Dani! I haven’t tried it so I couldn’t say for sure how it would turn out, but I think it’s certainly worth a try. The flavor will be more bitter so if you’re okay with that, go for it and let me know what you think! Enjoy!
Can you substitute regular sugar with date sugar?
Hi Stacey-Ann! Yes, it should work great as a substitute for granulated sugar in this recipe. Enjoy!
These are amazing – I used date syrup, Hu Salty Chocolate Bar, and Guittard cocoa powder (used 4 oz chocolate bar as this was all I had, then upped the cocoa powder to 1/2 a cup.) Added a teaspoon of vanilla extract as well. Thank you so much – I am in love! XX
