Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (8 tablespoons)
- 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, 100% cacao (I use Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate)
- 1 ¼ cups cane sugar or maple sugar (311g cane sugar, 262g maple sugar)
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (95g)
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour (100g) I use King Arthur Gluten Free Measure For Measure or Cup4Cup Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- First, melt butter in a saucepan on the stove on low heat. Stir occasionally. Then break up the unsweetened chocolate bar into smaller chunks and set them in the pan. Stir constantly until fully melted so as to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8'' x 11'' glass baking dish.
- In a small bowl, pour in the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, add the sugar and the room temperature eggs. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes until the volume increases and it is white and fluffy.
- Next, add the vanilla extract and melted chocolate and butter to the fluffed egg and sugar mixture. Use a large spoon to stir until mixed well. Pour in the dry ingredients and use a fork to mix until combined to avoid over-mixing. Scrape the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.
- Stir in the chocolate chips with a fork and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly out in the pan and bake on the middle oven rack for 28 minutes or until crackly on top with a slight jiggle in the middle when gently shaking. If using a smaller baking dish, bake for a few extra minutes or as needed.
- Allow the brownies to cool and the crackle top to continue to form. Serve and enjoy.
