Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Beat Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla extract until smooth. Then stir in the melted unsalted butter to combine.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until everything is mixed. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips if you are using them, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center to check doneness; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.
Notes
- Use a gluten-free flour blend recommended for baking to achieve the best texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
- Optional chocolate chips add extra chocolate richness and texture.
- Allow brownies to cool slightly before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
