Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Stir occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the chocolate mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until no dry streaks remain; avoid over-mixing.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 9 equal squares and serve.
