Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Add the melted butter, light brown sugar, and sifted cocoa powder to a large mixing bowl and, using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add the eggs, oil, honey, salt and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
Step 3
Add gluten-free blend and mix until combined using silicone spatula.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth it with a spatula and bake for 30 minutes. Let it completely cool before making the ganache.
Ganache
Step 1
Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until it comes to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate. Microwave the mixture for 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Be sure not to overheat.
Step 2
Spread the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies, and then sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Place the brownies in the fridge for a few hours. Once the ganache is set, cut the brownies and serve.
