For the Brownies:
  • 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour (such as Bob's Red Mill, the blue package)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Whisk or spatula
  • 9x9 inch Baking Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Melting Chocolate and Butter - Begin by melting the unsweetened baking chocolate and unsalted butter together. You can do this using a double boiler on the stove or in a microwave-safe bowl. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Mixing the Sugar and Eggs - In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes and helps to incorporate air, giving the brownies a delightful texture.
  3. Step 3: Adding in Vanilla and Chocolate - Once the sugar and eggs are well combined, add the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is blended together seamlessly.
  4. Step 4: Incorporating Dry Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the brownies.
  5. Step 5: Baking the Brownies - Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  6. Step 6: Serving and Enjoying - Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and enjoy! These brownies are delicious on their own, but feel free to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence.

Notes

  • These brownies are freezer-friendly; store in an airtight container for up to three months.
  • For a richer flavor, add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
  • Be careful not to overbake to maintain the fudgy texture!
