"Oh Sandi" these are great!! I did add walnuts and it is like eating a brownie. I don't know if they need icing because they are chocolaty and moist on their own.

Why this gluten free brownie bites recipe is worth making:

  1. Modeled after my popular gluten free brownies recipe.
  2. They are perfect if you have an occasion where you need bite-sized finger food desserts. These little brownies are the star of the dessert buffet!
  3. My recipe is tried and true and very easy to make. It is also dairy-free!

Ingredient notes:

brownie bites ingredients
  • Gluten free flour blend - I tested this recipe using Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend and King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten Free Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours and I can not guarantee the recipe will work if you use other mixes.
  • Xanthan Gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  • Non-dairy milk - I used almond milk, but other dairy-free kinds of milk will work I do not recommend canned coconut milk.
  • Oil - I recommend coconut oil or canola oil.
  • Eggs - Size large.
  • Pure vanilla extract - I do not recommend imitation vanilla.

Recipe step-by-step directions:

brownie dry ingredients in a large bowl

Step 1: Add your dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend them together.

To measure your gluten free flour, I recommend using the spoon method or leveling method. In a perfect world, people weigh their flour, but most do not own a kitchen scale. To make a scale even trickier, every gluten free flour blend has a different weight.

Put the measuring scoop into the flour and fill. Do not pack the flour. Use a knife to scrape along the top to remove the extra flour.

You can also use a spoon to fill the measuring cup. Use a knife to level along the top to remove the extra flour.

Step 2: In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk to blend.

Step 3: Pour the wet and dry ingredients together and mix. You can also use a standing mixer if you prefer.

HINT: Now is the time if you want to add mini chocolate chips or pieces of chopped nuts.

Step 4: This is what your gluten free brownie batter will look like in the bowl.

Step 5: Grab a mini muffin pan. Either spray it with coconut oil or add mini muffin paper liners.

Step 6: Pour in brownie batter into each muffin section. Fill ¾ full with the batter.

Step 7: Bake at 350º F for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the holes.

Step 8: To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a brownie. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the brownies need to bake longer.

Step 9: Decorate as you like! I used a tube of green icing that I bought at my local grocery store and some sprinkles to make trees.

Variations:

There are so many fun ways to vary this recipe. You can also decorate them based on what the holiday is!

  • Add in some white or milk chocolate chips.
  • Drizzle melted white chocolate over the tops and add sprinkles. Be sure to check to ensure the sprinkles are gluten free!
  • Add frosting to the tops in cute little swirls.
  • Add a teaspoon of peanut butter to each cup of batter, then cover it up with more brownie batter. This will bake in a creamy peanut butter middle!

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

Can you make brownie bites from a mix?

There are several good gluten free brownie mixes that are perfect for making brownie bites. I like Pamela's, Open Nature, and Trader Joe's best.

How long will these gluten free brownie bites keep fresh?

These brownie bites will keep for up to 4 days in an air-tight container

Can you freeze brownie bites?

You can easily freeze these brownie bites. Just add them

    Very good recipe. My mini pans must have been smaller because I got 48 brownies. Perfectly bite sized.

    Can I do these with all brown sugar or coconut sugar? Would that work?

      I imagine using all brown sugar would work. I have not tested using just brown sugar nor using coconut sugar. Coconut sugar has a higher melting point than brown sugar so I think using it would mess with the brownie texture.

    "Oh Sandi" these are great!! I did add walnuts and it is like eating a brownie. I don't know if they need icing because they are chocolaty and moist on their own. The recipe I printed said 1/4 Cup salt and figured that wasn't right so I did add 1/2 tsp. I got 24 minis and 6 muffin tops. I will frost a few and see what the difference is. My husband didn't know they were gf. LOL

    What kind of oil do you use for the brownies

      Hi Sue, good question. I added this in for people. I recommend a light oil like canola typically for baking...but coconut oil is also delicious. I would stay away from olive oil or any oils with a savory flavor.
