Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (170g) butter, divided
- ¾ cup (160g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups (225g) gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
- ¼ cup (25g) almond flour
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- ½ cup (113g) butter
- ¼ cup (60ml) neutral oil
- ¾ cup (127g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (106g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup (75g) gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
- ½ cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- flaky salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add ½ cup of butter and microwave until melted. Cut the remaining ¼ cup of butter into small pieces and whisk into the melted butter until fully melted.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and whisk until evenly combined. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla for 1-2 minutes until light in color.
- Whisk in the baking powder and salt.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir in the gluten-free flour. When just a few streaks of dry flour remain, add 1 cup of chocolate chips and stir until just combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate while you prepare the brownie batter.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Add the butter, oil, and chocolate chips to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat for 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking each until fully incorporated.
- Using a rubber spatula, mix in the gluten-free flour and cocoa powder until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it into an even layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop portions of the chilled dough and flatten them between your palms. Place the dough pieces over the brownie layer, arranging them across the surface. Use any remaining dough to fill in the gaps until the brownie layer is fully covered. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips over the top and gently press them in.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the bars are evenly puffed and lightly golden on top.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky salt and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to let the brownie bars cool before slicing for clean edges.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
