Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1¼ cups Gluten Free Flour (185 grams)
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon Baking Powder (3 grams)
Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (170 grams, cut into 1 inch pieces, 1½ sticks)
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate (170 grams, finely chopped)
- 2¼ cups granulated sugar (450 grams)
- 4 large eggs (200 grams)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (12 grams)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (170 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Cover a 13×9-inch baking pan with two sheets of aluminum foil arranged perpendicular to each other, allowing for a 3-inch overhang on all sides. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, coarse kosher salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a large heatproof bowl, melt the butter. Add the chopped unsweetened chocolate and stir until smooth. If needed, microwave the mixture on HIGH in 10-second intervals, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until fully melted and combined.
- Add Sugar and Eggs: Gradually whisk the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Then add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and whisk again until smooth.
- Combine Flour Mixture: Add the dry flour mixture to the wet chocolate mixture in three additions. Gently fold with a rubber spatula after each addition until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer and Smooth Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly into the corners. Smooth the top surface for even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, indicating fudgy brownies.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and transfer the pan to a cooling rack. Allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang, then cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
Notes
- Make sure to line the baking pan with foil to easily lift out brownies without breaking.
- Do not overbake; remove from oven when toothpick has moist crumbs for fudgy texture.
- Use high-quality unsweetened chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s accuracy and pan type.
- For a shiny crust, do not overmix the batter once the flour is added.
