Look at all the fudgy yumminess! This is the brownie recipe that you need in your life. It’s quick and easy, uses only 8 common ingredients, and creates the best fudgy gluten-free brownies ever. You’ll never need an expensive box mix again.
How to Make the Easiest Gluten-Free Brownies:
It only takes eight simple ingredients to make these delicious brownies. Start by melting the buttery spread either on the stove top or in a microwave. Once it’s melted you will add it along with the other ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula and mix it all together.
Spread the batter into a lightly greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Use a toothpick to test to see if the middle is done. You don’t want it wet but a few moist crumbs are okay. Enjoy warm or……if you want nice straight-cut edges then let it cool and then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes before cutting.
These are so good warm, room temperature, chilled, or even frozen. They don’t freeze super solid because of their fudginess so you can pull one out of the freezer and still be able to eat it pretty quickly.
How To Freeze Brownies:
Place them an inch or so apart from each other on a parchment-lined baking sheet that will fit in your freezer and then freeze. After a couple of hours place them in a freezer bag or freezer container with some parchment paper layered between the layers. These should keep for 2-3 months.
For some extra beauty, you can sprinkle the brownies with powdered sugar.
For a Variety of Brownies:
While these brownies are perfect just the way they are, if you want to change them up there are a variety of ways to do that. Here are a few ideas to add or swirl in and you can combine some as well.
Add to the batter:
1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (Enjoy Life)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dairy-free white chocolate chips
Switch out the vanilla extract for 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract
Swirl into the batter after it’s in the baking dish:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup of mini marshmallows
1/2 cup melted dairy-free chocolate chips (Enjoy Life)
1/2 cup melted dairy-free white chocolate chips

Description
The easiest fudgy gluten-free brownie recipe for the very best brownies.
Ingredients
1/2 cup buttery spread (Smart Balance or Earth Balance)
1/2 cup gluten-free flour (I use Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt the buttery spread in a microwavable dish or melt in a small pan on the stove-top.
Once that’s melted, place it and all the rest of the ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and mix together until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Use a toothpick to test. It shouldn’t be wet but can have some moist crumbs on it. The edges will look more done than the center.
Serve warm or cooled. See notes for cutting and serving.
Notes
If you want clean edges let your brownies cool and then chill them in the refrigerator before cutting. If you can’t wait for a piece just cut one piece while warm and then chill before cutting the rest.

Could I use regular butter instead of butter spread? Thank you
MamaShire
Yes, you definitely can. Any of my recipes where I use the buttery spread can be replaced with regular butter.
Amy
Hi, the mesurment foe the doubled recipies are off, is that normal?
MamaShire
There does seem to be a problem with the doubling and tripling with the recipe app. I’ll contact the creators. Thanks for letting me know.
Andrea
Can you use almond flour instead? What’s the ratio for that?
MamaShire
I haven’t made this recipe with almond flour so I wouldn’t be able to say for sure. Almond flour has more moisture in it than nut-free gluten-free flours so that will change the amount that you need.

MamaShire
So glad you liked them! And added chocolate chips sound delicious!
Cindy Lark
How can these be dairy free with eggs in them?? Totally new to this gf/df cooking.
Thank you!
MamaShire
It can be confusing since eggs are sold in the dairy section at grocery stores but eggs are not dairy.
An easy way to remember is that dairy is any food made from the milk products of animals that are produced in the mammary glands. In the US common sources are cows and goats. Eggs sold in most grocery stores in the US are from chickens.
Stephanie
Can I use bobs red mills egg replacer in this recipe?
MamaShire
I haven’t personally tried that but I would think it should work.
Kim
Can I sub coconut oil for butter or applesauce?
MamaShire
Yes, you could do that.
