Ingredients
Dry Mix Ingredients
- ¾ cup (110 g) gluten-free plain flour/all-purpose flour, add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum if using a blend that doesn't already contain it
- ½ cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, light or dark
- ½ cup (60 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (90 g) chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate (dark, semi, white etc)
- ½ teaspoon salt
To Bake Your Brownies
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (100 g) melted butter
Instructions
Gluten-Free Brownie Dry Mix
- To store: Combine dry ingredients in a jar or zip lock bag, seal tightly, and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To Bake Your Brownies
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch square baking tin with baking paper.
- Pour the dry mix into a large bowl.
- Add the eggs and melted butter. Stir until well combined. The batter will be thick and glossy - this is exactly what you want.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared tin.
- Bake for 22–26 minutes. A skewer inserted should come out with moist, fudgy crumbs (Mine is perfectly fudgy at 24 minutes).
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing for neat edges and a gooey centre.
Notes
Tips for Success
- No sifting needed: Just give the dry mix a good stir before baking to break up any lumps.
- Thick, glossy batter = fudgy brownies: Don’t be alarmed by the texture- it bakes up beautifully.
- Want a flavor boost? Add 1 tsp vanilla or 1 tsp espresso powder when mixing with the eggs and butter.
- Dairy-free option: Use 1/2 cup light-tasting oil instead of butter.
