Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make these amazing brownies:

Print

• 150 grams butter, = ⅔ cup or 11 tablespoons
• 100 grams dark chocolate, = 3.5 ounces (broken into pieces)
• 185 grams dark brown sugar, = 1 cup or 6.5 ounces
• 3 large eggs
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 30 grams cocoa powder, = ¼ cup or 1 ounce
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt (leave this out if you use salted butter)
• 65 grams gluten-free flour, = ½ cup or 2.3 ounces
• 95 grams chocolate chips, = ½ cup or 3.3 ounces

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Pan: Prepare an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20cm) square baking pan by lining it with baking paper and spraying lightly with oil (or greasing with butter). Preheat the oven to 180C/355F.
2. Melt the Good Stuff: Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large bowl in the microwave in 30-second bursts (1.5 to 2.5 minutes, depending on your microwave). Stir well until the butter and chocolate are fully melted and smooth.
3. Add Sugar: Add the sugar and stir that in as well. This is where the magic begins to happen!
4. Cool Slightly and Add Eggs: Let it cool slightly. Then whisk the eggs and the egg yolk lightly and stir them into the mixture.
5. Flavor Time: Stir in the vanilla, then the cocoa, baking powder and salt.
6. Add Flour and Chips: Stir in the flour just until you can’t see any more white bits. Then fold in the chocolate chips gently. Careful not to overmix!
7. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth out to the edges. Bake for around 25 minutes or until the edges are set and a skewer/sharp knife inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a bit of sticky (but not raw) batter on it.
