Ingredients for Gluten-Free Reese’s Brownies
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks, melted)
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (only if your gluten-free flour doesn’t already contain it, see note)
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (about 14 cups)
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Baking Chips
Instructions for Making These Irresistible Brownies
- Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish (a glass one works best) to prevent the brownies from sticking. - Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until well-combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy. - Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if necessary), cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until completely blended. - Add the Reese’s:
Fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s peanut butter chips. The more peanut butter and chocolate, the better! - Bake the Brownies:
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs (no raw batter). Be sure not to overbake – the brownies should be soft in the center but set on the edges. - Cool and Serve:
Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. For a smooth, clean cut, consider using a plastic knife, which helps prevent sticking. - Optional Topping:
For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top of the cooled brownies. They’ll look gorgeous and taste even better!
Pro Tips for Perfect Brownies
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Once you add the dry ingredients, stir just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough brownies.
- Check for Doneness: Every oven is different, so start checking your brownies at the 35-minute mark. A few moist crumbs are perfect, but you don’t want raw batter.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and fresh Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. The quality of your ingredients makes all the difference in the final product.
