Currently our favorite brownies

These are currently our favorite brownies.  They've also been a big hit at two bring-and-shares.

We're experimenting with a gluten-free version.  I'll post once I know what I think (that batch just came out of the oven...).

Enjoy!

Update:  I've made a couple of batches using Dove's Farm Gluten Free Plain White Flour, and they're yummy! 

Brownies with Chocolate Chips

Ingredients

  • 115 g salted butter, plus some for greasing the pan (I'm currently using a glass pie plate)
  • 6 tbs cocoa powder (not drinking chocolate)
  • 1 cup sugar (demerara is fine)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 50 g chocolate chips

Procedure

  • Pre-heat oven to 180 C / 170 C for a fan oven.  
  • Grease the pie plate with some of the butter.  
  • Melt the rest of the butter over low heat in a small saucepan or a bain-marie / double boiler.
  • Place 6 tbs cocoa powder and 1 cup demerara sugar together in a medium mixing bowl.  Mix together with the whisk.  
  • Add the melted butter and 1/2 tsp vanilla.  Mix well. 
  • Add 2 eggs.  Beat with whisk until well broken-up and well-integrated.  
  • Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.  Mix gently but well.  
  • Fold in 25-50 g chocolate chips. 
  • Transfer to baking dish, using  mixing spoon or spatula to make sure as much as possible is transferred.
  • Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes, until just set in the middle.  Brownies will continue to bake when removed from the oven.  
  • Cool (at least 15 minutes) before cutting.

Yum!
