Heavenly Gluten-Free Brownies

If you love anybody enough this Valentine’s Day you will give them brownies. OK, chocolate dipped everything is nice too, a box of chocolates is (somewhat) thoughtful, and this ice cream, well, this ice cream really really speaks the language of love — kisses. But…nothing equates to brownies to put a smile on his/her face. Trust me on this one.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that these brownies are gluten-free, or that they contain less sugar and butter than most brownies out there. It doesn’t hurt that they’re so outrageously heavenly either. Now, that’s LOVE.

GLUTEN-FREE BROWNIE RECIPE

Yield: 8 to 12 servings

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
2 large free-range eggs
1/3 cup turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup tapioca starch
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 335 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.

Melt the butter and chocolate in a large glass or plastic bowl in the microwave for 1 ½ minutes, stirring at 30 second increments. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract, just enough to mix them (no need to aerate the eggs).

Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and whisk well. Sift in the tapioca starch and salt, and whisk well to incorporate the ingredients.

Pour the batter (which should be pretty thick and sticky) in the prepared pan. Place on the middle oven rack and bake 20 minutes, or until set but not completely dry.

Let cool and enjoy.

    Nice easy-to-make recipe, Nisrine. I don’t need gluten-free, but often make food for those who do, so love this recipe. Your brownies look so moist!

    This looks great and is easy to make. I wish you didn’t have to have an ice cream maker to make ice cream. Thanks for this recipe.

    Greta idea, Nisrine! Do you soak the tapioca beforehand or not? Do you think I could replece sugar with agave or maple syrop?

    What a wonderful cake! I made it this afternoon, and just sampled a piece.
    I used smashed sweet potatos in place of applesauce, and a hearty dash of cardamom in lieu of vanilla.
    This is definitely a new staple in my house :)
