Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/177C. Line a 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the gluten-free flour blend, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, add the cocoa powder, hot melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to let the cocoa powder bloom.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the wet ingredients. Mix for an additional minute, until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until no more streaks of flour remain.
- Fold in 3/4 cups (120g) of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup (40g) for later.
- Spread the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
- Bake at 350F for 22-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Bake until the edges of the brownies are set. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out mostly clean with some wet crumbs. Do not over-bake the brownies.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fleur de sel (flaky sea salt).
- Let the pan sit on a wire rack to cool. Use the parchment paper overhang to remove the brownies from the pan. Cut into squares.
Notes
- This recipe was tested with both Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour (in the blue bag) and King Arthur Baking Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour. Both of these blends already contain xanthan gum. If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain it, you will need to add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum to the recipe. I cannot verify that other gluten-free flour blends other than the two I have recommended will work in this recipe.
- If you have celiac disease or are gluten-free, please always double check your ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free. Sometimes, manufacturing practices and ingredients can change so it’s always best to double check, even if you are familiar with the product.
- For best results, use the metric measurements and a food scale for the ingredients. Dry ingredients, like gluten-free flour, can vary widely depending on how they are scooped into measuring cups. For accurate measurements, measure by weight and use a food scale, which only cost about $10. I’ve provided the ingredient measurements in grams.
- I do not recommend using almond flour in place of the gluten-free flour blend in this recipe. Instead, use my almond flour brownies recipe.
