Gluten-free chocolate brownies
Brownies are normally dense and the gluten-free versions tend to be rather crumbly. These brownies are made similar to European sponge cakes ( i.e. with separated the eggs) which results in a lighter texture. So these gluten-free chocolate brownies are more suitable as a pudding (served with ice-cream, custard or fruit compote) rather than a tea/coffee cake. You can reduce the sugar to 50g if you don’t want them too sweet.
