Tips to Make Gluten Free Tiramisu Brownies

Variation

You can add chocolate chips to the brownie batter for extra chocolatey goodness. Alternatively, you could swap out the mascarpone for cream cheese for a different flavor profile.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
No, this recipe is designed for gluten-free flour to ensure it stays gluten-free. Using regular flour will change the texture and could affect those with gluten sensitivities.

2. What if I don’t have espresso powder?
You can substitute espresso powder with instant coffee powder. Just make sure it is well dissolved in water before using.

3. How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
You can use dairy-free butter and a dairy-free mascarpone alternative to make these brownies dairy-free. Be sure to also use a non-dairy whipped cream.
