Ingredients

Print

• 1 cup gluten free flour blend * see notes (I love Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)

• ½ cup cocoa powder (black cocoa or regular)

• 2-3 teaspoons espresso powder * see notes

• ½ cup brown sugar

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum-free)

• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup light oil (vegetable or canola work well)

• ½ cup non-dairy milk (regular milk is also okay)

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Dry Ingredients: Add the 1 cup gluten free flour blend, ½ cup cocoa powder, 2-3 teaspoons espresso powder, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon sea salt to a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to blend the dry ingredients. If you use black cocoa powder, your mixture will be much darker.

2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, light oil, your choice of milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Bake: Pour the brownie batter into a greased and parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. This is crucial for achieving that perfect fudgy texture.
