Gluten-Free Almond Flour Fudge Brownies

These fudgy chocolate brownies are a gluten-free eater's dream, especially considering how quickly the batter comes together. With a handful of pantry staples, you can have tender and moist gluten-free brownies in about an hour. This recipe stays true to a classic method of making brownies by melting chocolate chips in butter, using a double boiler, but feel free to melt everything together in the microwave, running it for 10-second intervals and stirring between intervals. The batter comes together quickly after that, and most of the time here is for the brownies to bake. Make sure to allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting. 

This recipe is for a basic brownie, but there are many ways to upgrade and change up your brownies to suit your mood or the occasion. Try using your favorite baking chocolate to play with the different flavors. Or, introduce varied textures with your favorite toasted nuts (we like walnuts, pecans, or almonds here), a handful of chocolate chips, or candies like M&M’s. You can also add a swirl of cream cheese or peanut butter to the batter or try topping the brownies with toasted coconut or slivered almonds. These brownies are also ideal as the base for a brownie sundae. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or butter pecan ice cream on top, and offer up sprinkles, toasted nuts, cherries, and everything else you prefer for the best ice cream sundaes.
