- dark cocoa powder

- 4
Bake until gooey perfection.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Melt the peanut butter layer to roughly 110-120°F before swirling it into the batter so it flows without tearing the brownie layers, since cold peanut butter (below 80°F) is too viscous to marble properly.technique110-120°F
- ✓Freeze peanut butter cups for 15 minutes before chopping them because gluten-free brownie batter is more delicate and wet (often 10-15% higher liquid ratio to compensate for lack of gluten structure), so firm mix-ins prevent them from sinking or smearing into the batter.ingredient15 minutes freezing
- ✓Bake at 325°F rather than the standard 350°F for gluten-free batters, since alternative flour blends (rice flour, almond flour, etc.) brown faster on the exterior due to different starch gelatinization points, risking a dry crust before the center sets.temperature325°F
- ✓Pull the brownies when a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs, not clean, because gluten-free brownies continue cooking from residual heat and will firm up as they cool, typically over 30-40 minutes.timing30-40 minutes carryover set
- ✓Line the pan with parchment leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides so you can lift the entire slab out once fully cooled, since gluten-free brownies lack the elastic structure to hold together well when cut directly in a hot pan.equipment2-inch overhang
