These gluten and dairy free chocolate brownies, would have to be my go to slice recipe & my most often made snack. This is usually what I make if I have to take a plate of morning tea anywhere. It is eaten & enjoyed by everyone even though it is gluten & dairy free. I have made this for a couple of teenage boys (who are on a gluten & dairy free diet) instead of giving them a birthday card & it was much appreciated. This recipe has been adapted from a recipe that was published in Notebook magazine (no longer published).
I’ve now realised that the only photo I have of my chocolate brownies is the photo above which was taken at a Mother’s Day morning tea, with a rose theme. The chocolate brownies are on the plate on the left, along with some gluten & dairy free melting moments.
So instead I’ve taken a photo of some of the ingredients that go into the chocolate brownies. I’ll have to edit this post the next time I make chocolate brownies.
I’ve now edited this post with a photo of the chocolate brownies, above.
I often make this with normal butter now as we can tolerate it, however, to keep it dairy free use nuttelex. My flour blend is normally brown rice flour, tapioca flour & corn flour. However, I’ve been struggling to find corn flour that I know is sulphite free so will sometimes substitute coconut flour. When substituting with coconut flour use about a third. So if replacing a third of a cup of cornflour I would use a third of a third of a cup of coconut flour, so not very much. At times I have added an extra egg which makes it more cake like.
