Gluten Free Fudgy Skillet Brownie

With simple ingredients, this gluten free skillet brownie with a peanut butter glaze creates rich and fudgy brownies with deep-dark chocolate flavor!

Cake is delicious, but sometimes a girl just needs a fudgy brownie! There is no substitute.

In the gluten free world, brownies are awesome because they require a lot less flour than cakes and many other baked goods. There are even flourless versions. Plus, fudgy brownies do not call for light and fluffy, aka the powers of gluten.

Cue the dense chocolate...

These brownies are moist and fudgy, without falling apart. The best of both worlds! Then, warm peanut butter is drizzled over the top...YUM!!! Is there a better flavor combination out there?!?

Serve simply with whipped cream, whipped topping, or vanilla ice cream.

Personally, I might just grab a spoon and dig in...

GF Skillet Brownie with Whipped Topping

For a fudgier brownie…

  • Do not use baking powder
  • Omit egg whites and use two yolks per egg listed in the recipe
  • Use a little less flour
  • Cut a few minutes from the baking time

For a cakier brownie…

  • Use baking powder to help leaven
  • Use a little extra flour
  • Use softened butter and cream with the sugar, instead of using melted butter
  • Bake a bit longer
