Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour blend, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Whisk thoroughly to combine and eliminate any lumps.
- In a separate large bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add granulated sugar and whisk until well incorporated and slightly fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the brownies tough.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out and cut into 16 equal squares.
- For best texture, allow brownies to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend to ensure the best texture and taste
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense brownies
- Always sift your dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother batter
- Check brownies early - gluten-free baked goods can dry out quickly
- Let brownies cool completely for the best texture and cleanest cut
- For extra decadence, consider adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness
- If you want fudgier brownies, reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes
