The Recipe How-To
Now that we have an idea about the ingredients for these gluten-free white chocolate chip brownies, it’s time for the fun part – making them! Don your aprons and let’s get started.
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with some butter or coconut oil. You can also line it with parchment paper if you prefer.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of sorghum flour, 1 cup of potato starch, ¾ cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt until all these dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, cream together 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened and 2 cups granulated sugar. Then, add in 4 eggs and beat well. Finally, stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until it is completely incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Now comes the exciting part! Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, mixing well until everything is perfectly combined. The mixture should be nice and thick at this point.
Step 5: Add White Chocolate Chips and Walnuts
Gently fold in a hefty amount of white chocolate chips into the batter . Next, add in any mix-ins you want like walnuts or raisins . I love adding some toasted walnuts for extra crunch!
Step 6: Baking
Once you have added your mix-ins, evenly spread the batter out into your prepared baking dish. Make sure it’s spread evenly throughout! Pop the brownies into preheated oven and bake them for around 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cooling
Once the brownies are baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a bit. If you try to cut into them too early, they will crumble apart!
There you have it, folks – an easy one-bowl gluten-free white chocolate chip brownie recipe that is perfect when indulgence is what you crave. Don’t forget to share your creations and let me know how much your guests adore these tasty squares!

If you want to take this dessert up a notch, add a drizzle of caramel sauce over each brownie or dust powdered sugar on top for an elegant touch. You can even use these brownies as a base for a decadent sundae by scooping ice cream onto them and adding whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
One of the best things about these gluten-free white chocolate chip brownies is that you can make them ahead of time and store them for future enjoyment. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
If you’re planning on making these ahead of time, it’s important to ensure that they are fully cooled before storing them to avoid any excess moisture buildup, which could result in a mushy texture.
For longer storage, you can freeze these brownies for up to two months. Be sure to wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. These brownies thaw quickly, and you can reheat them by placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
If you want to enjoy these brownies straight out of the oven, but don’t want to eat the whole pan at once, try reheating individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warm.
Remember, gluten-free baked goods tend to dry out more quickly than their conventional counterparts, so it’s important not to overheat during reheating.
With these storage and reheating tips, you can enjoy these delicious Kristi’s gluten-free white chocolate chip brownies anytime!
Tips for Perfect Results
Now that you have all the ingredients and steps required to make Kristi’s White Chocolate Chip Brownies, let me share with you some tips for perfect results. These tips will help you avoid common mistakes and ensure that your brownies turn out exactly as you want them to.
1. Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of the ingredients plays a vital role in determining the taste and texture of your brownies. Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients like organic milk, unsalted butter, and good quality white chocolate chips.
2. Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, and accuracy is critical. Make sure to measure all the ingredients accurately using measuring cups or spoons.
3. Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough brownies. Mix the ingredients until just combined to achieve perfect fudgy brownies.
4. Grease Your Baking Pan: It’s essential to grease your baking pan with butter or cooking spray before adding the brownie batter. This will help you remove the brownies quickly and easily from the pan without sticking.

Kristi’s White Chocolate Chip Brownies (Gluten Free!) Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup dutch process cocoa
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 3/8 cup potato starch
- 3/8 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup sorghum flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup milk (moo, almond, soy, whatever)
- 1 cup walnuts (or pecans or macadamias,etc)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. (You will need a stand mixer for this unless you are super strong).
- Add eggs, cocoa, vanilla, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add xanthan gum, all flours and starches and mix until combined. Add milk and mix until integrated.
- Last, once the batter is all together (it will be VERY sticky and somewhat stiff), add nuts and choc chips. Stir on low until integrated.
- Grease a 13x9 glass baking dish. Scoop batter out with a silicone spatula (you'll be thankful you did) and do the best you can to work it into the corners and make it sort of level. The levener will do the rest if you get it close.
- Bake at 350 F for 45-75 minutes. At 45, pull and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it pulls out clean, it's completely done (I like mine a little raw, so I pull at 45 minutes). Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes before cutting.
