Gluten-Free S’mores Brownies

🧂 Ingredients

• 3/4 cup honey or coconut sugar

  (up to 1 cup to taste)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp fine-grain sea salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips, divided

  (look for the Enjoy Life brand)
• 1 cup gluten-free graham cracker crumbs

  optional
• dye-free marshmallows

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper in an 8” square
  pan – use a long enough piece to create small flaps that hang over the edge of
  the pan as “handles”. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray and set
  aside.
• 2 In a small sauce pan, add 1 cup of water and set to medium heat. Add the honey
  or coconut sugar, butter and salt to a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Place bowl
  over the sauce pan – this is the double-boiler method. Stir the
  honey-butter-salt mixture until melted. Remove from heat once melted. 
• 3 Add in the cocoa and vanilla extract into the bowl and stir. Next, add the eggs,
  and stir.
• 4 Fold the flour and baking powder to the mixture. Add ½ cups chocolate chips to
  the bowl, and gently fold into the batter.
• 5 Pour the batter into prepared pan, spreading it evenly pushing it to the edges
  and corners.
• 6 Sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips.
• 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 33-38 minutes. Remove from heat. 
• 8 After step 6, add in this step… Break apart a few graham cracker cookies and
  place in a food processor for a few pulses. Pour into a one cup measuring cup.
  Pulse a few more to fill up the cup if it’s not quite full.
• 9 Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly on top of the chocolate chip covered
  brownie batter. And then go to step 7 to bake for 33-38 minutes. 
• 10 After step 7, remove brownie bars from heat. Set oven to broil on high.
• 11 Sprinkle on a layer of mini marshmallows, or take full size marshmallows and cut
  them horizontally in half and place them right on top so a thin layer of
  marshmallow covers the surface.
• 12 Place the pan back in the oven on broil for a couple of minutes – standing by
  watching to make sure the marshmallows do not brown too much. This process
  happens very quickly so keep a watchful eye!
• 13 Pull from the oven when marshmallow topping is browned to your liking and place
  pan on a wire cooling rack for up to two hours before removing from pan.
