Fudgy, gooey and oh so delicious – these easy Gluten Free Blackberry Brownies are the perfect combination of rich chocolate brownie and sweet blackberries.

Ingredients

1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
7 oz (200g) dark chocolate
1 cup (100g) cocoa powder
1.5 cups (225g) gluten free all purpose/plain flour blend (or regular AP/plain flour if gluten isn’t a problem)
1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your GF flour blend already has xantham gum or you’re using regular gluten flour)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cup packed (250g) light brown sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp brewed coffee*
3 tbsp créme de mûre (blackberry liqueur) (optional)
3/4 cup (100g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups (250g) blackberries (washed and de-stemmed)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line a 9×13″ brownie pan with greaseproof paper – leaving overhang at each end (this is for easy brownie removal)
Put the butter, sugar and dark chocolate in a heat proof bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, until all melted. Leave aside to cool slightly.
Sift cocoa into a medium bowl, add flour, xanthan gum, salt, lemon zest and baking powder. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps. Set aside
In another large mixing bowl beat the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla with a wooden spoon until combined. Stir in the coffee and créme de mûre if using. Beat in the melted chocolate mixture.
Add the flour, and gently beat with wooden spoon until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips. Then gently stir in the blackberries.
Pour into your prepared brownie pan and use the back of the spoon to spread out
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out with wet crumbs but not raw batter.
Cool in the tin, then remove and cut into squares
I recommend cooling completely before cutting but they’re great eaten warm with some vanilla ice cream, warm up in the microwave for 20 seconds to enjoy this way!
