| ingredients |
|---|
|
½ cup gluten-free flour |
|
½ cup rolled oats |
|
½ tsp xanthan gum |
|
¼ tsp baking powder |
|
⅓ cup cocoa powder |
|
⅔ cup caster sugar |
|
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
|
Butter, melted |
|
¼ cup plain greek yoghurt (lactose-free if required) |
|
1 tsp vanilla essence |
|
¼ cup dark chocolate chips |
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°C. Line a slice/brownie tin (20 x 30cm) with baking paper.
Add rolled oats to a food processor and blitz into a fine flour. Add to a large mixing bowl.
Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into the mixing bowl with oats. Stir in sugar and xanthan gum.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Add eggs, vanilla essence, melted butter and yoghurt. Stir until just combined.
Using a spatula, gently fold in chocolate chips, taking care not to overmix the batter. Add a dash or two of milk if batter seems too thick to pour into tin.
Pour mixture into prepared slice tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs clinging.
Allow brownies to cool completely before removing from tin and slicing. Serve dusted with icing sugar or extra cocoa powder if desired.
