    "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 but 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.

    an empty mini muffin pan

    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

      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

        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.
