Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate
- 85g unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup almond meal
- 1/3 cup rice flour
- Mini eggs for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat once fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the salt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Fold in the almond meal and rice flour until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press the mini eggs into the top of the brownies while they are still warm.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Enjoy these delightful gluten-free flourless brownies, a sweet treat that combines the joy of Easter with the indulgence of rich, fudgy chocolate!
