Nigella Flourless Brownies Recipe

Nigella Flourless Brownies

Nigella Flourless Brownies are brownies made without any flour or flour substitutes. Instead of relying on starch for structure, the recipe uses melted chocolate and eggs to create a naturally dense, moist texture.

Ingredients

  • Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped – 250 g

  • Unsalted butter – 175 g

  • Caster sugar – 250 g

  • Eggs – 4 large

  • Cocoa powder (unsweetened) – 1 tablespoon

  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

  • Fine salt – ½ teaspoon

Instructions

  • Prepare the tin – Line the baking tin with baking paper and lightly grease the sides

  • Preheat the oven – Set to 170°C (340°F)

  • Melt chocolate and butter – Gently melt together over low heat until smooth

  • Add sugar – Stir sugar into the warm chocolate mixture

  • Incorporate eggs – Whisk in eggs one at a time until glossy

  • Add flavourings – Mix in vanilla, cocoa powder, and salt

  • Transfer batter – Pour into the prepared tin and level the surface

  • Bake – Cook for 25–30 minutes until set but still soft in the centre

  • Cool fully – Allow brownies to cool before slicing
