Erics Favorite Gluten Free Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Butter an 8 inch square baking pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit bottom of pan and butter paper.
• In a double-boiler (or a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water) stir butter and chocolate until chocolate is melted. Take care not to let the metal pan touch the simmering water or your chocolate could become overheated and grainy. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk in the eggs one at a time and then the egg yolk. At this stage, it's normal for the mixture to look a little grainy. Whisk in the flour, stirring until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
• Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. These are meant to be fudgy brownies, so be careful not to over bake them. I like to take them out of the oven when my tester comes out with a few crumbs adhering to it, but no streaks.
• Cool pan on a rack for about 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife between edges of brownies and pan. Cut brownies into squares with a sharp knife. The paper lining will make it easier to lift brownies out of pan.
• Makes 16 2-inch squares

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
• Toss walnuts and chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder in a bowl until well coated; set aside. Mix tapioca flour, sorghum flour, teff flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, xanthan gum, and salt together in a separate bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar together in a separate large bowl until creamy. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in nuts and chocolate chips. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 30 x 20cm non-stick tin with butter and line the base with non-stick baking parchment.
• Fill a small saucepan a third full with water, bring to a simmer and put a snug-fitting heatproof bowl on top of it. Add the butter and chocolate and gently melt over a low heat, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let it catch and burn on the bottom. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.
• Beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric whisk for 8-10 mins or until thick enough to leave a trail. Gently fold through the cooled melted chocolate and vanilla, followed by the flour, cocoa and salt. Finally, fold through the chocolate chunks. Pour the brownie batter into the lined tin, place in the centre of the oven and bake for 30-35 mins.
• Leave to cool a little in the tin before cutting into 12 squares.
