Ghirardelli Chewy Gluten Free Brownies
Ingredients:
1 Cup Ghirardelli Dark or Milk Chocolate Chips
2/3 cup almond flour or 1/2 cup whole almonds (a much less expensive option that still works great)
1/3 cup brown rice flour
6 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened and cut into pieces)
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
(If you want to try making these into a healthy sweet treat you could try these with oil or applesauce in place of the butter and any sugar substitute. Let me know how they turn out if you do try them that way because I would really love a healthy dessert that doesn't end up in the trash:) )

1. Preheat the oven at 325 degrees F
2. If using whole almonds add them to a food processor with the rice flour and pulse until nuts are finely ground. (If using almond flour, mix with rice flour) Set aside.
3. Mix the chocolate, butter and salt together. Melt in the top of a large double boiler over barely simmering water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. (I just melted the chocolate in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, stopping to stir about every 30 seconds and it worked great) Remove the bowl and let cool for 5 minutes
4. Stir in the sugar and vanilla.
5. Stir in the eggs one at a time.
6. Add the flour mixture and stir until moistened. Mix briskly but don't over mix.
7. Scrape the batter into a parchment paper lined, 8x8 (for thicker brownies) or 9x13 in. pan and spread evenly.
8. Bake 20-30 minutes. Bake time will depend on your oven and size of pan. Do the toothpick test to check. Brownies should be slightly puffed all over and the center should come out moist but clean.
9. Cool pan on rack and cut into squares.
10. Enjoy your chewy, chocolaty, addictive brownies!
