Description
Bake rich, individual chocolate brownie cups with a gooey, molten center using gluten-free ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into 12 small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin well.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and the 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup.
- Place one small piece of the semi-sweet chocolate directly in the center of the batter in each cup.
- Top with the remaining batter, dividing it evenly among the 12 cups.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still look slightly soft.
- Let the cups cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool slightly more. Serve warm for the best lava effect.
Notes
- If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
- For easier removal, line the muffin tin cups with paper liners, though this may slightly affect the crispness of the edges.
- Baking time is critical for the lava center; check at 15 minutes.
