Who doesn’t love brownies? No one I’ve ever met, that’s for sure! I made these with Ava and Thea and they turned out very well, even if I do say so myself. 
They’re to take to a BBQ and the host can’t have gluten, so I substituted Dove’s Farm Gluten Free Flour for normal flour and hoped for the best!
Ava loved breaking up the chocolate and Thea liked shouting out the numbers as I weighed the ingredients.
First melt 4oz/110g Green and Black’s Organic Cooking Chocolate and 4oz/110g unsalted butter over a saucepan of simmering water – only use an inch or so of water, as if it touches the bottom of the bowl it makes the chocolate go funny. Let it cool a little before doing the next step. 
Then just add 8oz/222g caster sugar, 4oz/110g plain flour, half a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt and a scattering of xanthan gum, and then 2 large beaten eggs (I used large as gluten-free flour is extra thirsty so recipes often need extra liquid if you’re adapting them.) Put them in last as the chocolate and butter mixture will still be quite warm – you don’t want scrambled eggs! 
Stir the mixture together and then stir in about 4oz/110g of chopped walnuts if you like them, if not, just leave them out.
Spread it into a lined, 18x28cm/7×11 inch tin, and put them in the oven at 180°C/350°F for about 25 minutes. 
Let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes and then cut them up, and cool them on a wire rack.
I was slightly concerned as the mix was quite dense, so I wondered if I needed to add extra liquid. But I crossed my fingers and put them in the oven, and actually the consistency was just about right. My idiotic oven did make them look crisp on top, so I was worried I’d over done them, but actually if anything they were underdone as they fell apart a bit when I got them out of the tin. Never mind, they tasted really good – gooey on the inside and crispy on top, just like a brownie should be!
I love brownies. They’re always a hit – if I can actually get them out the house and stop myself eating them all! #freefromfridays
Yes they are a bit dangerous in that respect aren’t they! Xx
Your mini bakers are too gorgeous. Love this and the fact it’s gluten free too, I would just omit the walnuts for me as I can’t eat them. Love how perfect they look. Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays x

Oh yum and look so easy to make! I have started baking a bit more with the gremlin – such fun and lovely rewards at the end. Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst lovely and see you again xx
I bet she’ll enjoy it as much as you- just use normal flour and leave out the xanthan gum if you don’t have any allergies to wheat xx
Oh my gosh, these look so good! I have never made anything free-from, but it seems easy enough! Ray xx #ToddlerApprovedTuesday
Thanks Ray, you could just make them with normal flour too if you don’t have any wheat allergies. If so, you don’t need the xanthan gum either x
You could just use normal flour and leave out the xanthan gum if you don’t need to avoid wheat ☺️ xx
Oh yum, those pics are making my mouth water!!!
