Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Tips

Here are some tips to help you make the most out of this recipe:

Avoid Cross-contamination

If you are preparing the chocolate brownie in a kitchen that is not entirely gluten-free, take precautions to avoid cross-contamination. Use separate utensils, cutting boards, and cooking surfaces to prevent gluten from coming into contact with the ingredients.

Use room-temperature ingredients

It is better to have your ingredients at room temperature as it helps to make a smoother mixture. This in turn traps in the air which then expands when in the oven. This process makes your brownies light and fluffy.

Use melted butter

Using melted butter in brownies is best as it creates a moist and chewy brownie texture.
