To make this delicious Brownie Brittle I started by adding eggs, vegetable oil and some vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.

I used a large whisk to combine the ingredients until frothy.

Next I added Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, corn starch, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt to a separate mixing bowl.

I combined the ingredients until well blended.

Then I lined an 18" x 13" cookie sheet with parchment paper and sprayed it lightly with cooking spray.

I spread the brownie batter out thinly on top of the parchment paper with a large spatula.

 

Then I sprinkled the toppings on top that I had chosen.  Use your imagination and choose topping that are gluten free and suit your taste.  You can also skip this step if you prefer your Brownie Brittle without toppings.

I like to use a mixture to have a variety of brittle.

Then I placed the brittle in a preheated 350F oven for 16 - 18 minutes.

Once baked I removed the cookie sheet from the oven.

Next I immediately used a pizza cutter to cut it into the serving sizes I prefer.

After it had completely cooled I lifted it off the cookie sheet using the parchment paper.

Serve up your Gluten Free Brownie brittle as a snack or a dessert.

These thin, crispy brownies are a delicious treat and make a great addition to any dessert tray.

Double up toppings or crumble the brownie brittle to use on other desserts.

However you choose to indulge in Gluten Free Brownie Brittle you are sure to enjoy every bite!

  1. Can you recommend a substitution for corn starch in this recipe? Arrowroot or tapioca? Or could I just double the 1 fir 1 Flour?

    1. Hi Jennifer,
      I have not tried it with anything else. I think you should be okay with either substitute. If you try it be sure to let us know how it works out.
      Take care,
      Kathleen
