Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for topping, optional

Equipment

  • - Parchment Paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift the brownies out later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, melt the 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Reserve some for sprinkling on top if you desire extra chocolatey goodness.

  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Spread it out using a spatula. If using, sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before attempting to lift them out using the parchment paper overhang. For the fudgiest texture, it's best to let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

To store, wrap cooled brownies tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a warm oven. Freeze for up to 3 months.
