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…
More Easy and Delicious Flourless Recipes
The only thing easier than making these Easy and Delicious Flourless Recipes is falling in love with them. Made without flour and packed with flavor, these flour-free alternatives are sure to become family favorites.
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. 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 terrible. 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.

I’m dairy free – any ideas if I should sub plant butter or coconut oil for the butter?
Hi, Ally! I imagine whichever substitutions you usually make in baking should be fine!
These turned out great. They are not as sweet and loaded with sugar but they turned out perfect. I used pure organic cacao powder and 70% organic cacao chips. These were healthy brownies because of the low sugar content and because they’re gluten-free. I will definitely make these again!
Hi, Anna! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing.
I just found my new favorite brownies! Rich, fudgy, and decadent. I made them keto by substituting for the chips and the sugar.
Thank you so much for this recipe.
Hi, Jennifer! Yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed them. Do you mind sharing your sugar substitute? Readers are always asking for options!
A you replace granulated sugar with monk fruit? If so would it be same amount?
Thank you!
Hi Natalie! I’m afraid I’m not really an expert on sugar substitutes (and I’ve never made this recipe with monk fruit). BUT from what I understand, you use half the amount of monk fruit that you would sugar (i.e. half cup monk fruit for every one cup of granulated sugar). Hope this helps! Enjoy! ❤️
I have used this recipe for years and it’s my go-to brownie recipe. every time. rich and decadent… plus gluten-free.
Hi, Vickie! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoy them. Happy Holidays!
