Decadent Gluten-Free Flourless Chocolate Brownies
There are many reasons to love flourless brownies. For starters, they’re gluten-free, so they’re perfect for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. And since they don’t contain flour, they’re also lower in carbohydrates than traditional brownies.
But the best part about flourless brownies is that they’re incredibly rich and fudgy. The lack of flour makes them denser and moister than regular brownies, and the chocolate flavor is intensified. Even better? This recipe adds peanut butter, which adds so much flavor that you will want to each every single brownie in your batch.
These gluten-free flourless chocolate peanut butter brownies are also incredibly satisfying. The chocolate flavor is rich and intense, the peanut butter adds even more flavor and the texture is dense and so fudgy. These brownies are so good that you won’t even miss the flour. You read that correctly. This recipe does not use ANY kind of flour!
Can these brownies be made for Passover?
Since these brownies are flourless, they are also perfect for Passover or Pesach, the Jewish holiday commemorating the liberation from slavery in Egypt.
