Rich, fudgy gluten-free blondies made with browned butter, coffee, white chocolate and Brazil nuts. Makes 2 trays. Cover with foil halfway through baking to keep them moist.

👩‍🍳 Method

1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line 2 brownie trays.
2
Brown the butter in a saucepan until it turns golden and smells nutty. Remove from heat and stir in the dissolved coffee mixture.
3
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and ground almonds.
4
In the saucepan, melt the light brown sugar and demerara sugar into the browned butter over low heat until dissolved.
5
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and beat well.
6
Combine the dry flour mix with the butter mixture and stir together.
7
Fold in the chopped white chocolate and Brazil nuts.
8
Divide between the two prepared trays. Bake at 180°C for 70 minutes, covering with foil after the first 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
9
Leave to cool completely in the tins before cutting.
