Jump to Recipe

These GF Chocolate Frosted Brownies are incredibly fudgy, rich and delicious!!! I adapted this recipe from a very popular Brownie recipe from many peoples' childhoods, called the "Lunch Lady Brownies" - the only changes that I made was to substitute the regular gluten-containing flour with GF All-Purpose Flour and they turned out perfect! My family had NO idea that they were Gluten Free 😉 Yummy!!! A huge "Thank You" to Holly @ Life In The Lofthouse for sharing the original "Lunch Lady Brownies" recipe 🙂

Ingredients

Equipment:

9" x 13" Baking Pan
Aluminum Foil
Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Stand or Handheld Mixer

The Brownie Ingredients:

1 Cup (2 Sticks) Salted Butter Melted
½ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 Cups All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour I used Better Batter
2 Cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar You may use your desired brand of granulated sugar
4 Large Eggs I use Egglands Best, but any brand is fine
4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

The Chocolate Frosting Ingredients:

¼ Cup (1/2 Stick) Salted Butter, softened I use Land O Lakes brand
¼ Cup Milk I use Whole Milk, but 2% or 1% are fine, too
¼ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3 Cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 9" x 13" baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Using a Stand Mixer or Handheld mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, blend the Melted Butter and Cocoa Powder until smooth.
Next, add the GF Flour and Granulated Sugar, mixing until blended...scraping the sides as needed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, until just blended.
Slowly mix in the Vanilla Extract, blending until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Evenly spread the Brownie batter into the prepared Baking Dish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes while preparing the Chocolate Frosting. Note: You want the Brownies to still be warm when you apply the Frosting.

Making the Chocolate Frosting:

Using a Stand Mixer or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, combine the Softened Butter, Milk and Cocoa until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the Powdered Sugar, 1/2 Cup at a time, starting on Low each time to avoid a HUGE powdery mess 😉
Once all of the Powdered Sugar has been added, beat on Medium to Medium-High speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy.
Spread evenly over the top of the Brownies and let cool completely (I know it's hard to do!!!) before slicing. Note: I remove the entire Brownie using the foil to lift it...and then I slice them 🙂
Serve by themselves, with a glass of cold milk or your choice of Ice Cream! Enjoy!!!
