Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Once the butter is browned, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and the warm brown butter. Stir until well mixed and smooth.
- Add the 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as this can lead to dry brownies.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares and enjoy your delicious gluten-free brown butter brownies!
Tips
- Brown Butter Magic: Take your time when browning the butter. The nutty aroma is key to developing deep, complex flavors. Watch it carefully to avoid burning.
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Use room temperature eggs to ensure smooth, even mixing and a perfect brownie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix your batter just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense brownies.
- Check for Doneness: The toothpick test is crucial. A few moist crumbs are perfect - completely clean means dry brownies.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow brownies to cool completely for the best texture and easiest cutting.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.Pro Hack: For extra decadence, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch that elevates these brownies from great to absolutely extraordinary!
