Update: I have changed this recipe slightly to produce a sturdier but still delicious brownie. See The Better Gluten-Free Brownie.
Preheat oven to 350. Butter and rice flour a 9 x 13 inch pan. A wooden spoon or sturdy silicone spatula works well for this.
Stir over low heat until melted:
¾ cup butter
½ cup cocoa (powder)
Remove from heat and add:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
Add, beating with spoon:
4 eggs – one at a time
2 tsp. Vanilla
Combine in a separate bowl, then add to saucepan:
¾ cup Sorghum flour (or rice flour)
¼ cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup corn starch (or tapioca)
½ tsp. Baking powder
¼ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Xanthan gum
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Pour into pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes.
Next time I’m going to try adding some chocolate chips!





I can’t tell from the picture… did these come out more cake-like or more fudge-like? Or a little of both?
Good question. A little bit of both. Using rice flour will make them more cake like and sorghum more fudge like. So these were on the fudgier side because I used sorghum.
