Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies
One 9×9 or 8×8 pan
350^ oven, 20 to 25 minutes baking time (less for fudgier, longer for cakier)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup butter
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 tsp chia seed or ground flax seed (completely optional)
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Melt the chocolate chips and butter together. Remove from heat. Stir in the cocoa until well blended. Add in the sugar, stir well. Stir in the chia seed or flax, if using. Let cool slightly.
Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Without stirring, dump the rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt on top of the chocolate mixture. Blend the dry stuff together a little bit, then stir it into the chocolate.
Pour into a greased pan, either 8×8 or 9×9, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a 350^ oven. I baked mine for 21 minutes, but ovens may vary.
My picture shows only a bit of the pan because my brownie has a giant hole in the middle where I checked to make sure it was fully cooked. An epic gf bread fail from earlier this week has made me cautious! If in doubt, poke the brownie with a toothpick or fork, and a few little crumbs should stick to it if it is finished. The brownie should be pulling away from the sides of the pan, as well, which the picture does show.
thanks Megan, going to give these a try and may become my favorites, I hate the thought of bringing in all those expensive exotic ingredients that I can only get at a health food store and get charged double and triple. You are more daring than I, I haven’t really experimented with anything. talk soon love Polly
The brownies are really good. I just keep throwing things together and hoping they turn out. I did a banana bread a couple of weeks ago that was really good, too. I think that recipe had xanthan gum it in, but I lucked out and found a really cheap source for it. The Chia seed can be bought at the Bulk Barn, and it seems to be a pretty good binder.
