Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (for topping)
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ounces miniature M&Ms candies (for decorating – optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), cocoa powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add neutral oil, vanilla extract, corn syrup, and beaten eggs; mix well.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- For the topping, heat heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat and stir in chopped semi-sweet chocolate until melted.
- Spread the chocolate topping over warm brownies and, if desired, sprinkle M&Ms or Sixlets on top before letting the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.
