Gluten Free Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

There are few things I like better than a chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven. But these browned butter chocolate chip bars are amazing! They are simple to make, have an extra delicious flavor thanks to the browned butter, and are quickly becoming a go-to recipe of mine!

If you love all things chocolate chip cookies, then you will love these bars!



All of the recipes that Karly from Buns in my Oven posts always look so delicious, and as soon as I happened upon her browned butter chocolate chip bars I knew that I had to try them gluten free! You will love them, too! If you aren't gluten free make sure to check out her version.

Gluten Free Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter
  • 6 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Flax-Egg (directions on side of blog)
  • 3/4 Cup plus 1 Tablespoon Brown Rice Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the butter in a small saucepan and melt, stirring constantly, until browned. It will foam up some. And then it will smell nice and nutty once it is done. Set it aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brown rice flour, cornstarch, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt. Whisk together. 
  4. In a medium size bowl, beat together the butter and sugars.
  5. Add the vanilla and egg and beat into the butter/sugar mixture.
  6. Stir in the flour mixture, then the chocolate chips.
  7. Line a 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper and spread the bars out onto it.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes. I like eating them while they are still warm, but they will hold together much better if you wait a half hour or so.

Enjoy!
