Gluten-Free Buckwheat Brownies (Print Version)

Fudgy gluten-free brownies with buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, and chocolate.

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - ½ cup buckwheat flour
02 - ½ teaspoon sea salt
03 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - ½ cup chocolate chips

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 cup melted butter
06 - 1 cup chocolate chips (for melting)
07 - 2 large eggs at room temperature
08 - 1 cup coconut sugar
09 - ¼ cup brewed coffee

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch pan by lining with parchment paper or brushing with butter.
02 - In a small bowl, stir together buckwheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt.
03 - In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips together over low heat.
04 - In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and coconut sugar. Add brewed coffee and mix again. When slightly cooled, add the melted butter and chocolate mixture.
05 - Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until no dry clumps remain. Stir in ½ cup of chocolate chips.
06 - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 8x8 inch pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
07 - Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into slices. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the brownies briefly before slicing.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - To ensure accurate measurements, fluff the buckwheat flour before spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.
02 - Brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor. If unavailable, dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso powder in hot water as a substitute.
03 - For a nutty twist, add a tahini swirl before baking by combining 6 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Swirl over the batter using a thin utensil.
04 - Cooling the brownies fully ensures they set properly and allows for clean slicing.
