Nutella is Evil Brownies - Gluten Free

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup nutella
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup shortening, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup gluten-free flour (Bob's Red Mill or use your favorite blend, one that already includes the Xanthum Gum)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

1. 1

   In your Kitchen Aid mixer with paddle arm (you could use electric hand mixer). Beat Nutella, butter and shortening together with sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until really really fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, continue beating.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.

3. 3

   Gradually add flour to wet ingredients.

4. 4

   Beat very well.

5. 5

   Pour into a greased 9 X 9 square pan. Bake 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

6. 6

   I would also recommend allowing it to sit in the oven as it's cooling - crack the door a little - this will keep it from falling like mine did. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
