Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Servings: 16 brownies
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2/3 cup raspberry coulis (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy brownie removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and 2/3 cup of raspberry coulis, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle a little extra raspberry coulis on top and use a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
- For an extra touch, drizzle more raspberry coulis over the brownies before serving.
Helpful Tips
- If you don’t have fresh raspberries, frozen raspberries work just as well. Ensure they are thawed and drained before using.
- To make the brownies even fudgier, reduce the baking time slightly and check for doneness frequently.
- Feel free to add your favorite nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to two months. Just thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you need a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or your favorite dairy-free butter. For those avoiding eggs, a flax or chia egg can be used (1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water per egg).
Pairings
These Raspberry Gluten-Free Brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a special beverage pairing, try a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of chilled almond milk.
