Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate in this homemade gluten and dairy free chewy chocolate brownies. Have you guessed that I am a chocolate lover? These gluten and dairy free moist, gooey brownies are made with cocoa and chocolate chips and topped with chocolate icing. Yummy! They are easy to make and a delight to all during Spring Break and Easter.

I made sure that these moist, gooey brownies are not too sweet. That makes them just right to serve with your favorite toppings. Having lived in South Florida, my taste buds are ready for strawberries. We are so lucky here in the United States to enjoy such a long growing season. During the late winter, strawberries are shipped from our warm, southern states. Then the mid-states enjoy strawberry season around Mother’s Day. However, they keep coming through the fourth of July from our northern states.

Strawberries and chocolate must be soul mates because any recipe using these two ingredients is a favorite of mine. Check out my old fashioned gluten and dairy free pancake recipe topped with strawberries and truwhip. Who needs syrup?

How to Make Gluten and Dairy Free Chewy Chocolate Brownies

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Melt 3/4 cup of dairy-free butter.

Measure out 1 1/2 cups of sugar and add it to a mixing bowl.

Pour the melted butter into the mixing bowl.

Tip: Gently Mix

If you like a chewy brown then you must very gently mix your ingredients together. If you like a more cake like brownie then beat your eggs.

Mix on medium speed until the butter and sugar are completely combined.

You can bake these gluten and dairy free brownies in a 9×13 pan for thinner chewier brownies or in a 9-inch square pan for thicker brownies. Either way, I like to line my pan with unbleached parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Spread the gluten and dairy free brownie batter evenly across the pan.

For the 9×13 pan, bake for 30-35 minutes. For the 9-inch square pan, bake for 40-50 minutes. When done, the top of the gluten and dairy free brownies should be cracked and a knife should come out clean.
