Ingredients

1 1/4 C sugar
3/4 C cocoa powder
1/2 C all-purpose gluten free flour
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 large eggs cold
4 Tbsp butter melted
1/3 C avocado oil or canola oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp water cold

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9x9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Beat the eggs and mix in the butter, oil, vanilla extract, and water. Mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake at 325 degrees for 22-25 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting.

Notes

For dairy free brownies, use melted vegan butter in place of the regular butter.
I prefer my brownies very soft and on the slightly under-baked side. Cook a little bit longer if you want the center to be a little more done.
Chill the brownies for 30 minutes for cleaner cut slices.

To Double this recipe:

Use a metal 9x13 pan instead and just double the recipe. Now it's double the deliciousness! Now that you have some extra brownies, you can freeze them for later on. Read on below on how to best do that!

Suggestions for storing and freezing your GF Brownies:

Storing: After making these brownies, you can store them in an air tight container for 2-3 days at room temperature.

Freezing: For best results, freeze the brownies on a baking pan in your freezer on wax paper for 2-3 hours. Then, I recommend wrapping each brownie in plastic wrap and then storing in a gallon sized freezer bag. When you're ready to enjoy these little bites of deliciousness, take them out to defrost for a couple of hours ahead of time. Easy-peasy!
