Rich, chocolatey gluten-free brownies made with dark chocolate, rice flour, and hazelnuts — chewy inside, crisp on top, and irresistibly fudgy in every bite.
The Ultimate Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies 🍫
When it comes to brownies, texture is everything — and these gluten-free chocolate brownies strike the perfect balance between chewy and gooey 🤎. With a crackly top, a melt-in-your-mouth fudgy center, and the rich aroma of toasted hazelnuts, this recipe proves you don’t need wheat flour to achieve brownie bliss.
Made with dark chocolate, rice flour, and a touch of potato starch, these brownies are dense yet soft, perfect for chocolate lovers and gluten-free bakers alike.
🧁 Why You’ll Love These Brownies
✨ Fudgy, not cakey: The combination of melted dark chocolate and butter ensures that deep, rich texture.
🥄 Naturally gluten-free: Rice flour and potato starch make it light yet chewy.
🌰 Crunch factor: Toasted hazelnuts add nutty contrast in every bite.
☕ Pairs beautifully: Serve warm with espresso or a scoop of vanilla gelato.
🍫 Step-by-Step Bliss
1. Melt & Mix
Start by melting dark chocolate and butter together — a classic duo that forms the rich base. Once slightly cooled, whisk in eggs and sugar until the batter turns glossy and thick.
2. Fold in the Dry Ingredients
Sift in cocoa powder, rice flour, and potato starch. Fold gently until smooth, then stir in the toasted hazelnuts for that irresistible crunch.
3. Bake to Perfection
Pour into a lined 8-inch (20x20 cm) pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes. The key? Don’t overbake — the center should stay soft and fudgy while the top sets into that iconic shiny crust.
Let it cool completely before slicing (trust us, patience pays off!).
💡 Pro Tips
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) for bold flavor.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness and elevate the cocoa notes.
- For perfect slices, chill the brownies for 30 minutes before cutting.
🥄 Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies slightly warm with:
- A scoop of vanilla or hazelnut gelato 🍨
- A dusting of cocoa powder and sea salt flakes
- Fresh raspberries or strawberries for a tangy contrast 🍓
They’re also perfect for meal prep — store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.

❓ FAQ
Can I replace rice flour with regular flour?
Yes — if gluten-free isn’t necessary, substitute rice flour with all-purpose flour for a slightly denser result.
Can I use other nuts instead of hazelnuts?
Absolutely! Walnuts, pecans, or almonds give different textures and flavors, so use what you love.
