Gluten-Free Belgian Chocolate Brownies
Calling all chocolate lovers ,these Gluten-Free Belgian Chocolate Brownies are the ultimate treat. Rich, fudgy, and made with three kinds of chocolate (yes, three!), they’re what I like to call a proper chocolate explosion. You get the deep flavour of Belgian chocolate, the richness of cocoa powder, and melty pools of chocolate chips in every bite.
Honestly, I love a good cookie… but I’ll always be a brownie girl at heart. This recipe is my go-to. It’s the one I reach for time and time again, whether I’m baking for a party, bringing dessert to a family dinner, or just craving something comforting after a long day. It’s also the exact brownie I used to make the brownie chunks in my Gluten-Free Salted Caramel & Brownie Ice Cream and if you haven’t tried that recipe yet, you’re seriously missing out!
The Texture? Just Right.
These brownies sit perfectly in the middle of the great brownie debate – not too cakey, and not so gooey they collapse. They’re fudgy, but still slice beautifully and hold their shape. The crackly top gives way to a rich, dense centre that melts in your mouth.
The secret? Real Belgian chocolate. It makes all the difference. If you want that indulgent bakery-style finish, don’t skip the good stuff!
Mix-Ins & Variations
This brownie base is incredibly versatile too. Try mixing things up with:
- A swirl of salted caramel (my fave)
- A handful of walnuts or pecans
- Mint chips or chopped After Eights
- Crushed M&Ms for a colourful twist
Serving Suggestions
You absolutely can eat these at room temp, but trust me… warm them slightly and top with a scoop of ice cream (especially salted caramel or vanilla). Heaven. They’re also amazing crumbled into ice cream, which is exactly what I did in my Gluten-Free Salted Caramel & Brownie Ice Cream recipe.
