Gluten Free Brownie Brittle
Gluten free brownie brittle is for you if your favorite part of a pan of brownies is the crispy, crunchy edges! Bake up a whole pan of the best part of a brownie.
Servings: 24 pieces
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter chopped
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 1 ¾ cup gum-free gluten free flour (for less-crisp cookies, you can use one of my recommended all purpose gluten free flour blends)
- ¾ cup natural cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ⅛ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white at room temperature
- 3 ounces miniature chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Line a large rimmed 13-inch x 18-inch (half-sheet) pan with unbleached parchment paper or greased or nonstick aluminum foil, and set it aside.
- In a small, heat-proof bowl, place the butter and chopped chocolate.
- Melt them in the microwave in 30-second bursts or over a double boiler until smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool briefly.
- In a large bowl, place the flour blend, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar, and whisk to combine well.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the chocolate and butter mixture, and the egg white, and mix to combine.
- The mixture will be thick and somewhat crumbly.
- Add the (optional) miniature chocolate chips, and mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, and spread into an even layer.
- Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the batter in the baking sheet, and top with another half sheet pan.
- Press down evenly on the top sheet pan to press the batter into an even, compressed layer.
- Remove the top baking sheet and parchment paper.
- Place in the center of the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the brownies are mostly firm to the touch.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. They will crisp as they cool.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, break them into irregular pieces.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight glass container to retain crispness.
