    I don't know about you, but I love brownies. They're fudgy, soft, and so delicious. These mixed nut brownies are great straight out of the oven with a glass of milk. But, what makes these brownies so special? Chocolate syrup.

    Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube🙂

    This recipe was developed when I had a craving for brownies, but I had no cocoa powder. I was also all out of chocolate chips and baking chocolate. Luckily, I had some chocolate syrup in the refrigerator and decided to give it a go. The result is an extra soft, warm, and gooey brownie.

    Typically, brownies are topped with almonds or walnuts, but I didn't have either of those nuts. I only had mixed nuts -- cashews, pistachios, peanuts, and almonds. 30 minutes later, I discovered that mixed nuts are the perfect topping for brownies!

    Grab a spatula and fold in the gluten-free flour. Mix until there are no flour pockets left in the batter.

    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and top with the mixed nuts.

    Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the pan.

    Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.

    Hint: A lot of times, gluten-free baked goods are dry because the gluten-free flour mixtures contain ingredients that soak up moisture. In this recipe, the chocolate syrup keeps the brownies moist.

    Substitutions

    • Mixed nuts - instead of mixed nuts, you can use walnuts, almonds, coconut shavings, or anything you have on hand.

    Variations

    • Plain - don't use the mixed nuts for plain brownies.

    FAQ

    How will I know when the brownies are done?

    Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the pan.

    Can I use other nuts for the top of the brownies?

    You can top the brownies with anything you have on hand. Or, omit the mixed nuts completely and have plain brownies.

    How do you make gluten-free baking more moist?

    A lot of times, gluten-free baked goods are dry because the gluten-free flour mixtures contain ingredients that soak up moisture. In this recipe, the chocolate syrup keeps the brownies moist.

    Storage

    Store the brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.

    Top tip

    Line the baking pan with parchment paper so the brownies are easy to remove from the pan.
