Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Brownies

I made these brownies a little while ago for a funeral.

They were a big hit and no one guessed they were gluten free.

There are a few things I love about them: super easy to make, takes a small amount of flour, the tangy sour cream frosting, and the chunks of chocolate chips.

These are super chocolate-y!

Can't beat that right.  

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Brownies

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

4 eggs

1 can (16 oz) chocolate syrup

2 t. vanilla

1 cup GF mix

1 rounded t. xanthan gum

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Frosting

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup butter, cubed

1/2 cup sour cream

2 1/4 cups powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in chocolate syrup and vanilla.  Stir in the flour, chocolate chips and nuts.

Pour into a greased 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.

For frosting, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth.  Cool for 5 minutes.  Whisk in sour cream.  Gradually stir in powdered sugar until smooth.  Frost brownies.  Cut into bars.  Store in the refrigerator.
