It’s gluten-free blogweek! 19 Dutch gluten-free bloggers will blog about different topics for 7 days straight.
And as one of my very close friends has her own gluten-free blog, GLUUTS, we decided to do tackle this one together. Given our mutual love for yummy goodies (ahum, understatement) and my history in baking, we chose to make something deliciously sweet, packed with flavour and of course gluten-free. We tried and tested two different recipes, but one of them was just simply a winner for me.
Ok ok, I won’t leave you in anticipation any longer…
I present to you: fudgy pecan brownies.
What you’ll need:
90 grams of unsalted butter
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
350 grams of chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped up pecans
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees and line out your baking tray with parchment paper.
Grab a bowl and whisk the cornstarch, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together.
Set the bowl aside and get a small saucepan. Now heat up your butter and chocolate chips, let it melt completely until it’s all soft and creamy.
I know you want to dive in already, but keep yourself together. The best is yet to come.
When it’s all melted, stir in the sugar and then add the eggs one at a time.
You won’t need a mixer, you can just use a fork, a spatula or a whisk.
Add your chocolate heaven into your other bowl and mix it all up until it’s nice and smooth!
And now, to top it all off, add your pecans. It will give your fudgy brownies a nice crunch.
Pop ’em into the oven for about 20 minutes. If you insert a toothpick, it should come out with a couple of sticky crumbs. Then you know you’re good!
In the meantime grab a cup of tea, chat away with your friend, have a giggle…
And when you hear the *ding* from the oven: run, take out your brownies, leave to cool for a bit and DIVE IN!
