Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free flour blend Use a 1 to 1 replacement blend.
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder For rich chocolate flavor.
- 1/2 cup butter or dairy free butter Melted.
- 1 cup granulated sugar For sweetness and fudginess.
- 2 large eggs Room temperature.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness.
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Optional for added chocolatey goodness.
Web Decoration
- 1/2 cup white chocolate or white candy melts For creating the spiderweb.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter, then stir in sugar and cocoa until it looks gritty.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until glossy.
- Stir in gluten-free flour blend and salt until no dry streaks remain. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake for about 22 to 28 minutes. Start checking at 22 minutes. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
Decoration
- While the brownies cool, melt the white chocolate. Spoon it into a small zip top bag and snip a tiny corner.
- Pipe circles on top of the brownies, starting from the center and working outward. Drag a toothpick from the center to the edges to create the web design.
Notes
These brownies can be made ahead; flavor improves after sitting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For freezing, wrap squares individually without the web if possible.
