For 16 pieces

Brownies

1 cup dark chocolate chips or melts, or semi-sweet chocolate
85 g (6 tbsp) unsalted butter, cut into 1 cm / 1/2-inch cubes
¼ tsp cooking or kosher salt
¾ cup brown sugar, white sugar may be substituted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs, 55–60 g / 2 oz each
⅔ cup almond meal, also called ground almonds; almond flour may be used instead
⅓ cup rice flour

Equipment

Oven
Oven rack
20 cm / 8-inch square pan
Baking paper
Heatproof bowl
Microwave
Wire rack

Instructions

Method

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C / 325°F (160°C fan-forced) with a rack in the lower third of the oven.
Step 2: Grease and line a 20 cm / 8-inch square pan with baking paper, leaving an overhang so you can lift out the brownie after baking.
Step 3: Place the chocolate, butter and salt in a heatproof bowl. Microwave on high in 3 bursts of 30 seconds, mixing between bursts, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt them in the bowl over simmering water on the stove.
Step 4: Mix the chocolate and butter well, then leave the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5: Stir in the vanilla and sugar. Crack the eggs into the bowl and stir until combined.
Step 6: Add the almond meal and rice flour. Mix very well until fully combined.
Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the brownies are slightly puffed all over and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but clean. The center should remain moist.
Step 8: Cool the brownies in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Lift them out using the baking paper overhang, then cool completely on a rack. Cut into squares: a 3-by-3 grid makes larger pieces, while a 4-by-4 grid makes smaller pieces.

Notes

Cutting, scaling and storage

For neater squares, refrigerate the brownies until firm, slice them while cold, then let them come to room temperature before serving.

To make a larger batch, use multiple 20 cm / 8-inch square pans rather than one larger pan. Store the brownies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If the weather is warm, keep them in the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature before eating.
