For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Be careful not to overbake the brownies, as they will become dry. For a cleaner cut, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting. To make these gluten-free, substitute gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the regular flour.
