Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum free
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 5 eggs size large
  • 8 tablespoons butter melted
  • ¼ cup light oil
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chips melted

Topping:

  • ⅓ cup candy canes crushed
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • In a smaller bowl, add the butter and white chocolate chips and heat in the microwave until the white chocolate is melted. Allow to cool until it is warm. Add hte rest of the wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.
  • Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and pour the brownie batter into the pan. Smooth the top so that the batter is evenly dispersed around the whole pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the brownies and insert a toothpick into the middle. If hte toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs, it is finished baking. If you see batter, you will need to bake them a little longer.
  • Allow the brownies to cool on a cooling rack.
  • In a microwave, melt the white chocolate at 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
  • Place the candy canes into a zip style bag and crush them with a hammer or pot.
  • Drizzle the white chocolate over the brownies, then sprinkle the crushed candy canes. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. Xanthan Gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If the toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, it is done baking. If you see batter, the brownies need to bake longer.
  4. These brownies will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
