Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×9-inch baking vessel by lining with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal. Set oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Sift together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry ingredient blend.
- Gently melt butter using low heat, then whisk in granulated sugar until fully incorporated and slightly glossy.
- Introduce eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth, homogeneous liquid base.
- Blend vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, ensuring thorough integration of all flavors.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until just combined to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
- Incorporate chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing evenly with minimal stirring.
- Transfer batter to prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread mixture into uniform thickness.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for edges to slightly pull away from pan sides.
- Verify doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 10-15 minutes, allowing brownies to set and firm up.
- Lift brownies out using parchment paper edges, then slice into clean, precise squares for serving.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for the best texture and binding.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to create a smooth, well-incorporated batter.
- Use dark cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor that masks any potential gluten-free flour graininess.
- For extra richness, add a handful of chopped nuts or swap some chocolate chips with chunks of dark chocolate.
