Gluten-Free Cassava & Almond Chocolate Chip Brownies

The cassava flatbread proved one bag of cassava flour is worth having; these brownies prove it can do pudding, too. Paired with almond flour, cassava gives brownies that rare combination gluten-free baking usually misses: chewy at the edge, fudgy in the middle, and not remotely gritty or dry. No wheat, no gum, no special blend — and because both flours are grain-free, this one also works for the grain-free and paleo eaters in your life.

Gluten-Free Cassava & Almond Chocolate Chip Brownies

Chewy, fudgy, grain-free brownies built on cassava and almond flour — one bowl, twenty minutes, and a genuine treat rather than a compromise. Contains egg, dairy and almond.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 120 g cassava flour certified GF — see notes
• 100 g almond flour certified GF
• 100 g coconut or brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 90 ml melted butter or coconut oil
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• Salt a pinch
• 75 g dark chocolate chips see notes
• 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Method

 

1. Whisk it up: Whisk the eggs, sugar (and vanilla, if using) until fluffy. Add the melted butter or oil and stir until smooth and well-blended.
2. Fold & bake: Add the cassava flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter into a lined baking dish and bake at 180°C for 20–22 minutes.
3. Cool: Let cool completely in the tin for clean slices. Cassava + almond gives the best chewy texture; customise with walnuts, berries or spices.

Notes

Coeliac notes
• Cassava & almond flour are naturally gluten-free but commonly milled with wheat — use certified/labelled GF if highly sensitive.
• Dark chocolate chips: check for barley malt or shared lines; choose clearly gluten-free.
• Baking soda is GF (unlike some baking powders, which can use wheat starch).
• Allergens: contains almond (tree nut), egg and dairy (use coconut oil for dairy-free).
• Grain-free and naturally GF by design. When a label is unclear, treat it as "not for me".
