Fudgy Cornstarch Brownies Recipe - Cornstarch is the secret to fudgy, flourless brownies made in minutes with crisp chewy edges. A family favorite recipe that is gluten free and perfect for gifting, dessert or an anytime treat!
They say you don't make friends with salad, but there is one food you can certainly make friends with; brownies.
These brownies are one of my go-to's when I need to bring a dessert. They're quick, easy and a huge hit with everyone who eats them.
Each time I make them for an event, I find myself texting or emailing the recipe to friends - and then I realised I've never shared it with you!
This Chewy Cornstarch Brownie Recipe was actually a bit of an accident.
You see, I was experimenting with different flours trying to create the ultimate gooey and chewy brownies and decided I'd try my luck with cornstarch.
For a few moments, I thought the recipe was doomed... but they came out of the oven, cooled and cracked and when I sliced them all of my fears dissolved.
These brownies were soft and fudgy, however, they had the crisp chewy edges and crackly tops I was looking for - and SO much chocolatey goodness.
So let me share the recipe with you! >>
To make these brownies, all you need is:
- Cornflour/Cornstarch
- Cocoa Powder
- Eggs
- Butter
- Sugar
- Chocolate Chips

DeleteWhat temp?
ReplyDelete180C/355F. Thanks for picking that up!
DeletePerfect recipe. I swapped most of the ingredients and it still turned out amazingly. I used 1 tbsp of ground stevia, 60gr of butter instead of 100gr, 1 flax egg and 1 chia egg, and added 1/4 cup of chopped pecans and less than 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Baked for about 23 minutes.
ReplyDeleteBeen making this recipe regularly for my celiac best friend, but with a layer of chocolate bars in the middle, and although you have to bake it for a little longer, it becomes a delicious moelleux. Thank you so much!
