Gluten-Free Caramel Brownies Recipe
Craving a rich, decadent treat but need to stay gluten-free? Look no further! These gluten-free caramel brownies are the answer to your prayers. They’re fudgy, chewy, and oozing with a sweet and salty caramel that will have you reaching for seconds (and thirds!). This recipe is surprisingly easy to make, even for beginner bakers, and the results are truly impressive.
Why this Recipe Works:
- Gluten-Free Goodness: We use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that provides the perfect texture without sacrificing flavor. Be sure to use a blend that contains xanthan gum for best results.
- Fudgy Factor: The combination of melted chocolate and butter creates a super fudgy base that’s irresistible.
- Caramel Swirl Magic: A generous swirl of homemade (or store-bought, we won’t judge!) caramel adds a layer of sweetness and saltiness that perfectly complements the rich chocolate.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Stir in vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add gluten-free flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the batter and swirl with a knife or toothpick.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Tips & Variations:
- For extra fudgy brownies, underbake slightly.
- Add chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds) to the batter for added texture.
- Use sea salt flakes on top for an extra salty kick.
