Having a good brownie recipe you can fall back on is invaluable. Chocolate brownie can be used as snacks or treats, lunchbox items, for morning or afternoon tea or as a dessert.
This Basic Chocolate Brownie recipe is also budget friendly using simple pantry ingredients so it doesn’t break the bank but it still impresses in the taste category. This recipe can be easily converted to Gluten Free by using gluten free flour and making sure that your baking powder is gluten free, I have also made it gluten and dairy free by using a dairy free butter substitute.
Served warm as a dessert this Basic Chocolate Brownie needs nothing more that a dusting of icing sugar, some berries and good double cream, delicious.

Notes
Making this Chocolate Brownie gluten free is as simple as replacing regular flour for gluten free flour and making sure your baking powder is gluten free.
I have made this recipe Gluten and Dairy Free and it was very well received, I replaced the butter with Nuttelex.
