Gluten-Free Brownies for the Nightvale Bake Sale

my roomate has celiac so everything i bake for the house is gluten free now. and honestly? these brownies are better then the normal ones. i brought 3 dozen to the Nightvale University fall bake sale (a frend works IT there and dragged me) and they were GONE in 40 minutes. one of the astrophysics profs bought six. respect.

ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 8 oz dark chocolate (70%), chopped
• 1 cup sugar (or allulose if ur keto, works great)
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• flaky salt for the top

steps

1. 350F, 8x8 pan, parchment.
2. melt the butter and chocolate together (microwave in 30s bursts, stir every time).
3. whisk the sugar into the hot chocolate for a full minute. THIS is what makes the crackly top.
4. add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
5. fold in almond flour, cocoa and salt. dont overmix.
6. bake 25-28 min. toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not clean.
7. flaky salt on top while warm. cool for an hour. or dont, im not ur mom.

cross-contamination warning: if ur baking for someone with celiac, use a clean pan and check ur cocoa and chocolate labels. some brands are processed with wheat.

shoutout to the Nightvale University student union for letting me set up next to the coffee table. prime real estate.
