Let’s Get Cooking!

Preheat Your Oven : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a square 9×9 baking dish by greasing it lightly with oil or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Whisk Dry Ingredients : In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt until combined. The smell is going to be amazing!
Mix Wet Ingredients : In another bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Mix it until it’s all nicely blended. Now, add in two eggs one at a time, mixing in between, and then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry : Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Seriously, don’t overmix, just until it’s all come together!
Add Color : If you’re feeling fancy, add in a tablespoon of red food coloring. Stir until you reach your desired shade of red, it’s that simple!
Stir in Optional Add-Ins : If you’re adding chocolate chips or walnuts, fold them in now. I mean, who doesn’t love a chocolate explosion in every bite?
Bake : Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them, do the toothpick test! It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Cool and Enjoy! Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and watch your family devour them in seconds!
