Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups melted coconut oil or unsalted butter Use melted coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil (or butter) and granulated sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Use quality ingredients for the best flavor. The taste of these brownies highly depends on the cocoa powder used. Do not over-bake to maintain a fudgy texture. Consider adding a streusel topping or chocolate chips for variations.
