Gluten Free Brownies

This is my 4th month eating gluten free. I feel so much better! My 11 year old son makes these brownies for me and they really hit the spot when i want... NEED some chocolate.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 8"X8" pan.


2. In saucepan melt 1/2 cup butter. Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Whisk.


3. Mix in 1 cup brown sugar,1 tsp. vanilla and 2 eggs.


4. Stir in 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 tsp. salt.


5. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips or reeses peanut butter chips (YUM!)


6. Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts if desired... i desire.


7. Pour into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes.

These are so good. You bite into chunks of chocolate chips (i use milk chocolate instead of semi sweet) or the reeses and they are so good after they cool back to solid chunks instead of melty chips. I am joining in a recipe link for gluten free recipes at Heavenly Homemakers. go take a lookie around. come on... even if you aren't gluten free the food can be good. EDIT: I had someone make these and comment they came out gooey. They are a very moist brownie rather than cake like. Since my son always makes them, I forgot to mention that. I think he cooks them longer than the directions. They are very gooey until they cool. I used to like just from the oven brownies and these are not good that way. After they cool they are still very moist, but not as gooey as when warm. I am so sorry I forgot to mention that! I have not tried to make any with alternative flours- we made this recipe because I had all the ingredients and was dying for something chocolate- I was still just trying gluten free and didn't want to invest in the expensive alternative flours.
