Calories: 136kcal
Ingredients
- 1 10 oz. pkg dark chocolate chips, divided
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅓ cup butter cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup gluten free flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease 8" square baking pan and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, heat 1 ⅓ cups chocolate chips, sugar, butter and water. Stir continuously until butter and chocolate are melted.
- Remove from heat and pour chocolate mixture into a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add gluten free flour and salt and stir well.
- Stir in chopped pecans and remaining chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan.
- Bake for 33 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky.
- Allow brownies to cool in pan on wire rack.
Notes
- Check the ingredients of your gluten free flour mix for xanthan gum. If your flour mix doesn’t contain it, try adding ¼ teaspoon to the recipe. I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour which contains xanthan gum.
- Use an 8” x 8” baking pan with straight sides, instead of rounded sides, to give the brownies a clean, crisp edge.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before serving. It’s difficult to cleanly cut warm brownies.
