I rustled up these gluten and sugar-free brownies at the weekend. I must have had chocolate on my brain at the time because these are like being in chocolate heaven – but without the guilt! And it’s a good job that these brownies are much healthier than the real thing, because their gooey middle makes it pretty hard to resist going back for a second helping. Trust me ?
Oh and by the way they don’t actually have Nutella in the recipe. So yes, the title of this recipe is a little misleading if you want to be picky. But I used THIS amazing sugar-free substitute I found, and personally I could eat this stuff out of the jar.
With just 3 ingredients this recipe is a whiz to make, and definitely impresses when you tell people it;s sugar and gluten-free. Here’s how:

- Place the mixture in to the dish making sure it’s spread evenly
- Place in the oven at 180 degrees C for around 18 minutes, making sure the centre is still a little gooey.
- Take out of the oven and leave to cool and set for at least 5 minutes before eating.
