Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan with gluten-free flour or cocoa powder, or line it with parchment paper for easy lifting and removal.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter. You can also do this in a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can lead to tough brownies. A few streaks of flour are okay.
  6. If using, gently fold in the ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

  7. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. Spread it out with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes
