Whether you're gluten-sensitive or simply love a healthier twist, this quick and easy recipe is guaranteed to become your go-to dessert. Serve them as a stand-alone treat or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence—because everyone deserves brownie bliss!
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 20cmx20cm (8x8-inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the cocoa powder, almond flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no dry streaks remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Slice into 9 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
