Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (90g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and half of the chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix sugar, vanilla, and eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Combine melted chocolate mixture: Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Sift the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until there are no dry spots left.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts: Incorporate the remaining chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts into the batter to distribute evenly.
  7. Prepare the baking dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
  8. Bake the brownies: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking for a fudgier texture.
  9. Cool the brownies: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve: Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For added crunch, incorporate chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts.
  • Do not overbake to maintain fudginess; the brownies should be moist in the center.
  • Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Microwave the butter and chocolate chips gently to avoid burning.
