Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares.
