Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.
- Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt together in a separate bowl to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in ¾ cup of the butterscotch chips, reserving the remaining ¼ cup for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining butterscotch chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut into 16 equal squares.
- Serve and enjoy your gluten-free butterscotch brownies at room temperature or slightly warmed.
Tips
- Always use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough brownies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use parchment paper with overhanging edges for easy removal and clean cutting.
- For extra richness, use room temperature eggs to help them incorporate more smoothly.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to help them set and achieve the perfect texture.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve slightly warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
