This is the recipe for you, gluten-free lovers. Our chocolatey Brownie Blasts are exploding with chocolate flavor using xanthan gum. They are soft, chewy delights that will have everyone talking. They take no time to prepare and can be served as a mid-afternoon snack or full dinner dessert. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tbs. boiling water
• 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
• 4 tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tbs. oil (corn, canola, vegetable)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 3/4 cups good quality gluten-free flour blend
• 1/2 tsp. Cape Crystal xanthan gum
• 3/4 tsp. table salt

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1:
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly spray foil with a non-stick cooking spray.

STEP 2:
In a large bowl heated over simmering water, whisk cocoa and boiling water together until smooth. Add unsweetened chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted. Remove from heat.

STEP 3:
Whisk in the melted butter and oil. Add eggs, yolks, and vanilla extract, and continue to whisk until smooth. Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated.

STEP 4:
In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt.

STEP 5:
Fold in the bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate pieces.

STEP 6:
Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes.

STEP 7:
Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool 1 1/2 hours. Store leftovers at room temperature.

We wish you good eating!
