Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Melted Butter Dairy free butter works as a substitute
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt Essential for enhancing flavor

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Flour Blend A 1 to 1 blend recommended
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Dutch process recommended
  • 2 tablespoons Espresso Powder For a strong coffee flavor
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Optional but recommended

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before mixing with sugars, eggs, vanilla, and salt.

Mixing

  • Whisk in cocoa powder and espresso powder until combined.
  • Fold in gluten-free flour blend and chocolate chips until no dry streaks remain.

Baking

  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 22-28 minutes, checking for moist crumbs on a toothpick. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

For variations, consider adding a mocha swirl with cream cheese, sprinkling flaky salt on top post-baking, or folding in nuts for crunch. Always measure gluten-free flour carefully to avoid overpacking.
