Gluten Free Cocoa Brownies

Ingredients:
½ cup (1 stick) Earth Balance margarine

½ cup cocoa powder

1 cup Sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. gluten free vanilla

½ C Bob’s Red Mill all purpose flour (or other GF baking flour blend)

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp xanthan gum
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8x2 pan (or a 9 x 12 pan if doubling recipe) or 12 muffin tins. (I usually line the pan with parchment paper so that I can easily lift out the brownies and slice them when they are done!)
Melt butter in a sauce pan or in a 1 quart container in the microwave. Remove from heat. Add cocoa until blended, then add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla, flour, salt & xanthan gum – do not overmix. Bake 25-30 minutes (less if using muffin tins). Cool and serve.
