Equipment

  • A large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips I used Ghiradelli
  • ½ cup cocoa powder You can use dark cocoa powder for super dark and fudgy brownies
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup gluten free all purpose flour I used Bob's Red Mill 1:1 All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ t. baking powder
  • ¼ t. kosher salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips I used Nestle
  • cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ tbsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8 by 8 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter and dark chocolate chips just until melty. Stir until smooth.
  • Add the cocoa powder and stir until incorporated then add the sugar and stir.
  • Add each egg one at a time whisking just until incorporated. Add the gluten free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to the bowl and stir with a spatula until a batter forms. Don't over-stir. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Use the spatula to scrape the batter into the greased baking dish and use it to spread it out evenly.
  • In a small bowl combine the peanut butter and maple syrup then whisk until combined. Drop spoonfuls onto the top of the brownies and then use a butter knife to swirl it in.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Let the brownies cool and set up before trying to remove from the pan.
