Rich, fudgy and ultra moist vegan
gluten free brownies. These super
easy brownies are so good no one will
guess they’re vegan or gluten-free!
So we made simple vegan brownies,
then we made triple chocolate vegan
chocolate brownies and vegan
zucchini brownies and now here we go
with some super fudgy deliciously
chocolatey vegan gluten free
brownies.
I had to do a gluten-free version
because many of our readers are
gluten-free and a couple of my family
members are too, and any excuse for
another batch of brownies also just
works great with me.
···
···
Blood Pressure is serious
Sometimes adapting recipes for
gluten-free can be tricky, but in this
case, not at all!
These brownies adapted so easily
and perfectly for gluten-free it’s not
even funny. Or it is. Whichever makes
more sense to say there.
When I say no one will ever know
they’re either vegan or gluten-free I
am not trying to insult vegan or
gluten-free food. I mean please. Have
you met me? I’m a super fan of the
vegan food.
···
···
What I mean, is that these are so
good, they don’t need any qualifiers.
Like you won’t hear ‘this is pretty good
for a vegan brownie’ or ‘this is pretty
good for a gluten free brownie’.
In fact you won’t hear anything cos
everyone will have their mouths full,
and then they will be helping
themselves to another one.

HOW TO MAKE
VEGAN GLUTEN FREE
BROWNIES
You will find full instructions and
measurements in the recipe card at the
bottom of the post. This is a summary
of the process to go along with the
process photos.
···
Sift gluten-free all purpose flour
and cocoa powder into a mixing
bowl and add white granulated
sugar, baking powder, salt and
instant espresso powder and mix
together.
···
Prepare vegan buttermilk by
adding 1 tablespoon of lemon
juice to a measuring jug and then
adding soy milk up to the 1 cup
line.
Add the vegan buttermilk, melted
coconut oil and vanilla extract and
mix into a thick batter (very
thick!).
···
Add a mix of vegan chocolate
chunks and chocolate chips and
mix them in.
···
Prepare a square 9×9 inch baking
dish by spraying with non stick
spray and then lining it with
parchment paper so that there is
overhang on either side so that
you can easily lift out the whole
tray of brownies once baked.
Transfer the brownie batter to the
prepared baking dish and smooth
it down.
···
Bake for 40 minutes at 350°F.
···
Let them cool for about 15
minutes in the pan and then lift
them out with the parchment
paper overhang.

H O W T O C U T YO U R
BROWNIES
The easy way to cut perfect neat slices
is to heat up your knife. Dip the knife in
super hot water and then dry it off
with a paper towel and then cut.
Repeat this process every time you cut
and you’ll have perfect neat squares.
···
The hot knife also melts the
chocolate as you cut, so it’s even
more perfect!
HOW TO TELL WHEN
YO U R B R O W N I E S
ARE DONE
The toothpick test can be a little tricky
because you have chocolate chips and
chunks inside these brownies creating
little pockets of melted chocolate
everywhere.
···
But the top of the brownies should
be entirely dry, and look a little
cracked (like our pics) and if you put
the toothpick in you should come out
with only melted chocolate, not wet
batter. It also should feel soft but
firm. It should not be wet or super
jiggly.
