  • 4ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 6ounces bittersweet (such as 72 percent cocoa) or semisweet chocolatebroken into pieces
  • 1ounce (1 square) unsweetened chocolateroughly chopped
  • 1/3cup, plus 2 tablespoons (90 grams, or 3 1/4 ounces) natural cane sugar
  • 3/4cup plus 8 teaspoons (180 grams, or 6 1/4 ounces) brown sugar
  • 1/2cup plus 1 tablespoon (70 grams, or 2 ounce) Adrienne’s GF Flour Mixture (see below*)
  • 1/2teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2teaspoon sea salt
  • 1tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powdernot Dutch-processed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3cup (4 ounces) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Tear a piece of aluminum foil 16 inches long; fold over long edge to make foil width 7 1/2 inches. Fit it into an 8×8-inch pan (with extra length hanging over), pushing it cleanly into pan edges. Tear a second piece of aluminum foil 14 inches long; fold over long edge to make width 7 1/2 inches. Fit into pan perpendicular to the first piece. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Combine butter and chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-45 seconds to melt. If not melted, stir a bit, microwave another 30 seconds, and repeat. Let stand and then stir until smooth. Add sugars and stir. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together GF Flour Mixture (see below*), xanthan gum, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  4. Whisk eggs one at a time into chocolate mixture; then stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined. Pour into pan. Bake 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through. A toothpick inserted in center will come out with a few moist crumbs (or clean). Let cool completely. Brownie will be extremely moist (it becomes more fudgy and cakelike as it cools).
  5. Use foil edges to remove brownie from pan and place on a cutting board. Using a long knife dipped in hot water, cut brownie into about 20 squares, wiping knife between cuts if necessary. (If transporting brownies, tear up pan foil to wrap each square individually.)
