Serves: 8 Squares
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 6 Drops Red Food Coloring, or as needed
  • ¾ cup Gluten free plain flour
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180*C. Line an 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  3. Wait a few minutes before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and mix until smooth.
  4. Add the cocoa and mix until all is combined.
  5. Add the red food coloring and mix. I used 6 drops of red food coloring. Use any type of food coloring you like, you'll need a lot of it because it takes a lot to turn a chocolaty batter red. Don't be afraid to keep adding until desired shade is achieved.
  6. Add the flour, and stir until just combined.
  7. Pour mixture into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly, set aside.
  8. In a small, microwave-safe bowl melt the chocolate chips, about 1 minute on high power.
  9. Drizzle the chocolate over the pan and swirl lightly with the tip of a table knife or a toothpick.
  10. Bake for about 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
