Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour (King Arthur Measure for Measure preferred)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (Kerrygold recommended)
- 2 eggs, room temperature (about 70°F)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1.5 oz red food coloring
Sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed firmly
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of brownies.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Melt butter: In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the unsalted butter completely. Let it cool slightly before moving on.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla extract, sugar, brown sugar, and water until well combined and slightly fluffy. Stir in the red food coloring thoroughly until the mixture is vivid and consistent in color.
- Add butter and dry ingredients: Slowly pour the melted butter into the wet mixture, stirring continuously. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Transfer and bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 4 servings. Enjoy as is or with your favorite toppings like cream cheese frosting or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter that mixes more evenly.
- Firmly packing the brown sugar enhances the fudgy texture of the brownies.
- If you prefer a less intense red color, reduce the red food coloring amount slightly.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- These brownies are naturally gluten free, but always double-check ingredients if cross-contamination is a concern.
