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…

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.

Flourless brownies, flourless apple bread, flourless chocolate cake and flourless peanut butter cookies.

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.

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.

  1. These brownies are very easy to make, but the amount of sugar is way too much. They were so sweet that they tasted a lot more like store made. I’m going to try again with less sugar this time and probably sub out for some stevia.

  2. Whoa.. Ok, I really wasn’t expecting these to turn out at all. But they came out so good! Since it’s four days until Christmas and I’ll be eating enough sweets then, I used an unsweetened chocolate bar and used pure stevia powder to sweeten the brownies. It was weird, the butter separated from the chocolate mixture and baked/boiled. Then when I took it out after 25 minutes, once it cooled a few minutes, the butter all absorbed back into the brownie. Making fudge-y goodness. I will be making these again! Thanks for the great recipe!

  3. These were delicious! Only had salted butter on hand but added a little extra cocoa powder and used 3 normal eggs… perfectly cooked @ 30 mins, gooey on the inside, and crumbly on the outside! So glad to have tried this!

  4. OOOH, forgot to mention,
    my girl LOVES these…
    they will officially be her brownie ‘cake’
    for her 23rd bdy tomorrow!
    Thank you!

  5. GIRL, this is your claim to fame!
    Who knew you didn’t need flour (or a grainy substitute)?
    These are the bomb diggity!
    We have one who is allergic to American flour and these are perfect.
    We have tossed ALL other recipes!
    I don’t know what your second trick is, but will hang around to find out!
    Mucho thanks with full glasses of milk!

    1. Hi Mary! I haven’t tried this recipe with honey instead of granulated sugar so I couldn’t say for sure how it would turn out. I think it’s certainly worth a try though. If you do get a chance to try it, please let us know how they turn out. Fingers crossed!

    1. Hi Mary! I haven’t tested the recipe with honey or maple syrup, but I think either one would work nicely. The texture and taste will change slightly, but they should still be really good. Enjoy!

  6. This recipe sounds amazing! I’m going to try making them “sugarfree” using allulose sweetener, and instead of the chocolate chips I’m going to use unsweetened bakers chocolate and cacao butter wafers and melt them altogether. I’m planning on filling mini silicone baking cups. I’m pretty sure with the addition of cacao butter they will hold together? That’s my only worry that they would end up being a chocolate crumbly mess? Perhaps the eggs help with that too? I’m thinking of melting the butter with the sweetener first to make it somewhat a caramel and then add the chocolate and cacao butter to melt off the heat and then once all of it has melted it should be cool enough to add the eggs in one at a time without scrambling them?

    I know I’m changing your recipe up quite a bit but my hubby is a diabetic and I wanted him to be able to have one without it putting his sugars all out of whack. That’s also the reason why I am making them in two bite size to help him with portion control. I plan on storing them in the fridge and freezer. I’ll update if this allows and tell you how my experiment turns out

  7. Making this right now! Such a simple recipe, the batter tastes great so I’m sure the brownies will come out amazing!

  8. I made these exactly according to your recipe with special dark cocoa in an 8×8 metal pan and they were amazing! So good. Thank you!
