Besides the fact that these gluten free brownies are pure magic, they are also topped with magic bar ingredients, like nuts, coconut and chocolate chips.
There are very few recipes I’m willing to turn my oven on for when it is 91 degrees outside. These loaded gluten free brownies happen to be one of them. They are sinfully good and make the extra heat in the house so worth it. Top with cold vanilla ice cream and I dare you to say anything is better. Heaven! 
For the extra good loaded topping you can add whatever your heart desires. I choose to use what I had in my pantry – coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. You could add gluten free pretzels, caramel, any variety of nuts, marshmallows. All of these would be very delicious choices.
These are perfectly gooey but hold their structure very well. I hate brownies that are too gooey or too cake-y, if you know what I mean. I find the cornstarch and almond flour really give these brownies great structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?
Almond flour is key for the structure of these brownies, but you could try a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. However, the texture may vary.
What can I use if I don’t have walnuts for the topping?
You can replace walnuts with any variety of nuts, gluten-free pretzels, caramel, or even marshmallows for a different flavor and texture.
How can I adjust the recipe if I want to use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
If using milk chocolate, you may want to reduce the sugar slightly to balance the sweetness, as milk chocolate is typically sweeter than semi-sweet.
