White chocolate macadamia brownies that are totally moreish that you may not be able to just stop at one. If you’re scared of baking then these are definitely for you, using the all-in-one method you can whip up a batch without breaking out into a nervous sweat. Plus, they’re gluten-free too!
Do you have a favourite dessert? I think anything that involves chocolate is a winner for me and a brownie just has all because you can serve it in so many ways – cool with a cup of tea or warm with ice cream, custard or hot sauce. Now don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a healthy recipe at all, but like I said with my Marmalade Chocolate Marble Cake, sometimes you just need the real deal. I don’t know about you, I’ve been let down by some cakes in the past that are healthier alternatives, but don’t taste even close to the real thing they’re trying to emulate.
White chocolate macadamia brownies that are totally moreish that you may not be able to just stop at one. If you're scared of baking then these are definitely for you, using the all-in-one method you can whip up a batch without breaking out into a nervous sweat. Plus, they're gluten-free too!
- 150 g gluten free self-raising flour
- 100 g butter (melted)
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 100 g dark or milk chocolate (melted)
- 4 eggs
- 40 g dried cranberries
- 80 g macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 100 g white chocolate chips
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a brownie tin with greaseproof paper.
-
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwaveable bowl and heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring each time until everything has melted. Alternatively, you could use the double boiler method. Set aside to allow to cool for a few minutes.
-
Next pour the gluten-free self-raising flour, light brown sugar, cocoa powder, into a large mixing bowl and stir everything together before cracking in the 4 eggs. Pour in the slightly cooled melted chocolate and butter and mix in well.
-
When everything is well combined, stir in the dried cranberries, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips.
-
Transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared brownie tin and bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should have a papery cracked top when fully cooked. Take out of the oven and allow to cool fully before cutting into squares.
They will keep in an airtight container for up to 10 days or can be stored in the freezer.
Admittedly, I’m not the biggest fan of white chocolate as it can be too sweet for my tastebuds sometimes, however, when paired with bitter dark chocolate it balances out nicely and you get a hint of sweetness with every mouthful. As the recipe suggests, you can use milk chocolate too, but this would obviously change the sweetness level, but it’s totally up to you.
This has become my go-to brownie recipe when I want to make something to take to a friend or families house as a gift and it’s so easy to change up the add-ins and create an entirely different flavour combination. If white chocolate isn’t your thing, how about milk chocolate chips, you can add different nuts, seeds or even fresh berries too.

These look so yummy. My boyfriend’s been pestering me to make brownies lately, so I might give these a go.
I absolutely love macademia nuts so these brownies would be right up my street although I am really trying to be healthy at the moment so maybe one for the future x
This white chocolate and macadamia brownies looks really tasty, we love our brownies so cant wait to try this version of it.
Please can I come around yours and try some of these! They sound amazing and I am a total sucker for white chocolate on anything yum!
These look deleicious. I’m not a fan of white chocolate but like you said I think against the dark chocolate I would be more than happy
You saved me a few squares of this, didn’t you?! I am sure I can smell them from here!
This looks like a great way to use up all that leftover easter chocolate. You can beat homemade brownies.
Your brownies look really cake like which is how I like them. The fudgy ones are son popular but I prefer the cakey ones.
Like you said Brownie with ice cream is my favourite dessert. Waiting to try this.
Can’t wait to try these they look to die for!
Melted chocolate plus white chocolate plus macadamia nuts. I already know I would indeed need more than one of these! They sound incredible!
These brownies look so delicious! I love the combination of macadamia and white chocolate -such a treat ♥
These brownies definitely look irresistible! Today just got a little brighter now that I’ve found them.
