Chocolate Brownies are one of the best baked desserts but only when cooked correctly. They are always a bit tricky as you can under cook them and also over cook them so easily. So trying to come up with a gluten free version that is also fudgy involved quite a bit of testing
Happy to report that my testing has paid off and these chocolate fudge brownies are a winner!!!

RECIPE TIPS & FAQS
If you want the brownies soft then cook for 30 minutes, if you want them a bit firmer, then cook for 35 minutes.
Make sure the eggs have been kept at room temperature before using and are not cold. The mixture will mix more evenly and you will get more volume. If you are ever wondering why your baked desserts look flat then this could be the reason.
When the brownies are super warm they may break apart easily. So I recommend allowing them to cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes and then on a wire rack for a further 25-30 minutes.
You can store in your fridge for 4-5 days or in your freezer for 3 months when stored correctly.

Hi there Ness - I follow some of your interesting recipes and today decided to make the gluten free brownies.
Not sure what went wrong but very disappointed with my results!
Very flat ( no where near as high as your pic).
Followed recipe exactly and put in oven.
After about 20 minutes I could smell the brownies - even though the timer hadn’t gone off).
Took them out - there were cooked and a little bit ‘burnt’ on the 4 corners.
I could tell they had hardly risen but didn’t expect them to be as flat as they were.
I left in tin for about 1/2 an hour and then lifted out ( by the overhanging baking paper) and just placed on bench.
A few deep cracks and a bit crumbly on one side.
I’m almost scared to cut it as it looks like it might fall apart !
Can you tell me what I did wrong - can’t believe it is so flat looking.
Very very disappointed as I love all your recipes.

Sorry to hear that the brownies did not work out. I have made them heaps of time and never had any issues. So not sure what happened there. It does sound like it has something to do with the baking flour as you said the brownies did not rise. Maybe there was an issue with the product. Again, sorry to hear that it did not work out for you.

Another couple of questions - What was your oven setting? Did you cook on regular oven or fan-forced? Just saw this comment again and was thinking about it. I have made the brownies since your comment and I have not had an issues... So my thoughts are... oven temp not right or something wrong with one of the ingredients. Not sure what else.
