Fudgy, gooey and oh so delicious - these easy Gluten Free Blackberry Brownies are the perfect combination of rich chocolate brownie and sweet blackberries.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 7 oz (200g) dark chocolate
- 1 cup (100g) cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups (225g) gluten free all purpose/plain flour blend (or regular AP/plain flour if gluten isn't a problem)
- 1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your GF flour blend already has xantham gum or you're using regular gluten flour)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 cup packed (250g) light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp brewed coffee*
- 3 tbsp créme de mûre (blackberry liqueur) (optional)
- 3/4 cup (100g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (250g) blackberries (washed and de-stemmed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line a 9x13" brownie pan with greaseproof paper - leaving overhang at each end (this is for easy brownie removal)
- Put the butter, sugar and dark chocolate in a heat proof bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, until all melted. Leave aside to cool slightly.
- Sift cocoa into a medium bowl, add flour, xanthan gum, salt, lemon zest and baking powder. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps. Set aside
- In another large mixing bowl beat the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla with a wooden spoon until combined. Stir in the coffee and créme de mûre if using. Beat in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Add the flour, and gently beat with wooden spoon until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips. Then gently stir in the blackberries.
- Pour into your prepared brownie pan and use the back of the spoon to spread out
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out with wet crumbs but not raw batter.
- Cool in the tin, then remove and cut into squares
- I recommend cooling completely before cutting but they're great eaten warm with some vanilla ice cream, warm up in the microwave for 20 seconds to enjoy this way!
Notes
*You cannot taste the coffee, it just intensifies the chocolate flavour. You can omit if you really must, but I strongly advise against it
