Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 8 x 8 inch square pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, and cocoa. Mix and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk oil and eggs together until combined. Add vanilla and sugar. Slowly mix in flour mixture and water. (If you are adding mix-ins, add them here.)
    Once all flour is combined, spread evenly into pan. Allow the batter to rest for at least 5 minutes in the pan (this allows the flour and binders to hydrate fully.)
  • Bake on center rack for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Cool completely and serve.

Notes

For more chocolate flavor add ½ cup chocolate chips. For crunch, add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
*These gluten-free brownies are naturally dairy-free as long as the flour blend and mix-ins you are using do not contain dairy products.
