• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Servings: 12 brownies
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup hazelnut flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hazelnut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and melted butter until well mixed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips, if using.
6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Helpful Tips

For an extra nutty flavor, lightly toast the hazelnuts before chopping and adding them to the batter. If you prefer a more gooey texture, reduce the baking time slightly and keep an eye on the texture. Feel free to substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a hint of caramel-like flavor.

Storage Instructions

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Simply thaw at room temperature before serving.

Suggested Pairings

Pair these delightful hazelnut gluten-free brownies with a hot cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk for a cozy treat. They also pair wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
