Flourless Chocolate Brownies (Gluten Free) image

Gluten-free brownies! These little things make me so happy! They are a perfect combination of brownie flavor and fudge-like texture. Plus, when I bake them, the whole house smells like chocolate! Garnish with confectioners' sugar to make them extra pretty and serve with a cold glass of milk or vanilla almond milk. MMM!

Time 4h37m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 ½ teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 (4 ounce) bars dark chocolate (60 to 65% cocoa), chopped
¼ cup unsalted butter, diced
¼ cup coconut oil
5 eggs
⅔ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Grease an 8-inch baking pan with 1 teaspoon butter. Add cocoa powder; move pan around to spread evenly. Turn pan upside down over the sink; tap gently to remove excess cocoa. Place baking pan inside a larger baking pan.
  • Place chocolate, 1/4 cup butter, and coconut oil in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is almost completely melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Bring 4 cups water to a simmer in the same saucepan from the double boiler.
  • Whisk eggs and sugar together in a large bowl. Mix vanilla extract and espresso together in a separate bowl until espresso is dissolved. Pour vanilla extract mixture into egg mixture. Add salt. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Pour chocolate batter into the prepared 8-inch pan. Pour simmering water into the larger baking pan to create a hot water bath.
  • Bake brownies in the water bath in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs attached, 52 to 55 minutes.
  • Remove 8-inch pan carefully from the hot water bath. Invert onto a wire rack lined with parchment paper. Cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Cut into squares and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
