These Easy to Make Brownies are Gluten Free and Dairy Free

Most of the festive Passover meals are meat meals like The Best Oven Slow Cooked Brisket, Whole Roast Chicken and Quick Passover Chicken Marsala. According to strict kosher laws we cannot serve dairy desserts after meat meals. So not only do we have to stay away from regular gluten free flour (which is chometz) during Passover but for most of the festival meals we have to steer clear of dairy as well. This Easy Gluten Free Brownie recipe is pareve so it can be served with any Passover menu.

Ingredients needed for Hershey Cocoa Brownies Recipe (Passover)

We like to keep the ingredients simple for our Passover Dessert recipes. There is already enough to worry about that you don't need more recipes with hard to find ingredients. You only need six ingredients to make these super delicious brownies:

  • Unsweetened Hershey cocoa powder - this is the base of the chocolate brownie.
  • Chocolate chips - gives the gluten free brownie its gooey insides and intense chocolate flavor.
  • Potato starch - helps to keep the brownie together instead of almond flour. Using the starch instead of flour also makes the brownie a little bit lighter.
  • White granulated sugar - for sweetness.
  • Oil - this recipe uses safflower oil instead of coconut oil or ¼ cup butter.
  • Eggs - binder for the other ingredients and also adds fluffiness to the recipe.

How to make the best Flourless Passover Brownies Recipe step by step

Step 1 - Make the gluten free brownie batter.

Add the eggs and oil into a mixing bowl. Beat eggs with a whisk until completely combined.

Gluten free baking does not use all purpose flour

Next add the sugar, cocoa powder, and potato starch and whisk again until the dry ingredients are incorporated.

Everything is mixed in one bowl and there is no baking powder or baking soda needed

Finally, add the semi sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (optional) and stir until the chocolate chips are evenly disbursed.

Yum!

Step 2 - Bake the brownies.

Pour the gluten free brownie batter into a pregreased 9x13 inch baking pan or baking dish and bake for 25 minutes at 350ºF. Cool completely in the baking dish (and not on a wire rack) before serving. Cut into 2-3 inch squares to serve.

You can use Passover margarine or nonstick cooking spray to grease the prepared pan

Hershey Cocoa Brownies Recipe Pro Tip

After 25 minutes, check to see if the Easy Gluten Free Brownies are done by inserting a toothpick into the center. You are not looking for a dry toothpick as you would when making a Rainbow Sprinkle Cake. You want some of the batter to come off onto the toothpick but you don't want it to be liquidy. You are looking for a thick chocolate pudding consistency, not raw batter.

Recipe FAQ

Can I freeze Passover brownies?

These will freeze well meaning that you can make them in advance and thaw them when you are ready to serve them? Just in case you forget and keep them past Passover they taste great at any time of the year!

Do these brownies taste like potatoes?

Potato starch is a potato derivative that is used to provide texture and not flavor. These brownies will not taste like a potato.

Are these brownies fudgy?

Yes they are. The amount of chocolate chips and oil in this recipe make the brownies have a fudgy texture. You can make the brownies even fudgier by ending the baking time closer to 20 minutes. Ending the baking time closer to 25 minutes will yield a cakier brownie.

Is Hershey's Cocoa kosher for Passover?

According to the Star-K Passover guide, all United States domestically produced cocoa powder does not need special supervision. This means that Hershey's Cocoa can be used for Passover without any special Passover kashrus certification.
