Gluten-free brownie batter

  • 1/2 cup gluten free 1:1 flour I use Bob's Red Mill
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil or other neutral flavor oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup softened butter or refined coconut oil - not melted
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

How to make the best gluten free brownies:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease bottom and sides of 8x11" pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  • Add in wet ingredients. Mix to combine.
  • Pour brownie batter into pan and spread out evenly.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes until center is set and edges are slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan.
  • Cool to room temperature before frosting.

How to prepare frosting:

  • With mixer, beat butter (or refined coconut oil).
  • Add in cocoa powder, 1/2 of the powdered sugar, 1/2 of the milk, and the vanilla. Mix.
  • Add in remaining powdered sugar and milk. Mix. Add in additional milk in one teaspoon increments if needed to achieve desired consistency.

Notes

**NOTE** if making this frosting dairy free with refined coconut oil, make sure your unsweetened almond milk is room temperature to keep your coconut oil from solidifying and creating a chunky texture in your frosting.
