Gluten Free Brownie

These gluten-free chocolate brownies are rich, deeply chocolatey, and perfectly fudgy through the centre with a delicate crackled top. Made with gluten-free flour mix and real cocoa, they deliver the classic brownie texture without any grit or dryness.
The balance of sugar and fat keeps the crumb moist, while gentle mixing prevents excess air for that dense, melt-in-the-mouth finish. Ideal for slicing warm, serving with cream or ice-cream, or packing for lunches and gatherings, these brownies are proof that gluten-free baking can be just as indulgent as the original.

Notes

Note 1-Couverture chocolate 45-55% is ideal but you will still get good results with dark baking chocolate
Tips:it is important to add in the sugar before the eggs as it cools the mixture enough so the eggs don't cook
