  2. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Take a big bowl that is safe for the microwave. Put 6 tablespoons of butter and 1½ cups of chocolate in the bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time.
  4. Keep doing this until everything melts and looks smooth, which will take about 2 minutes. Let it cool down for 5 minutes before using.
  5. Add the sugar and vanilla. Mix in the eggs, one after the other. Stir in the cornstarch mixture until it is smooth - this should take about 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in ¼ cups chocolate chips and pecans.
  7. Put the batter into the skillet. Make sure it is spread out evenly. Then put ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top.
  8. Put the brownies on the grill and cover them. Check with a tester pick every 5 minutes after 30 minutes have passed. Bake for 35 minutes in the oven if you do not have a grill. Take off the heat and let cool in the skillet once done.

How to Bake Brownies on a Grill
How to Bake Brownies on a Grill
To bake brownies using a grill, it's important to choose the right pan. For a charcoal or gas grill, the best option is a cast-iron skillet.

Another challenge is dealing with uneven heat while grilling brownies. To prevent direct heat from reaching the brownies, you can use a metal diffuser plate on your grill. Another option is to use a cake pan and a cookie sheet. Simply place the cake pan on the grates, then the cookie sheet on top of it, and finally place your skillet on the cookie sheet.

  • Charcoal grill: Put charcoal in the grill. Make sure the vents are open so that the temperature stays between 350°F and 400°F.
  • Gas grill: Before you cook on the grill, turn it to medium heat. That is between 350°F and 400°F. It's like preheating an oven.
  • Oven: If you don't want to use the grill, make these fudgy brownies in the oven. Before you put them in, turn the oven on to 350°F.

Essential Tips To Avoid Ruining Your Brownies
Essential Tips To Avoid Ruining Your Brownies

  • Use real chocolate and cocoa powder. For deliciously rich brownies, dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate are recommended. When selecting chocolate, it's essential to avoid stabilizers, with soy lecithin being the most common one used to maintain food shape even when heated. Therefore, check the ingredient list carefully when choosing your chocolate.
  • Cornstarch is used in these brownies as a gluten-free alternative. To achieve the proper structure in these brownies similar to that of flour gluten, cornstarch is added. It's essential to be precise when measuring cornstarch by weighing it or using a spoon to level it in a measuring cup.
  • Get shiny crackly tops in brownies. Add the sugar during the correct step to achieve shiny and crackly brownie tops. After melting the butter and chocolate, quickly whisk in the sugar to allow it to move to the top of the batter while baking.
  • Avoid under-baking the brownies. It's a misconception that under-baking brownies result in a gooey and fudgy texture. It's challenging to determine the baking time for brownies. Use a timer and check the brownies once you start smelling the rich chocolate aroma.

Testing the center of the brownies with a toothpick can help determine if they are ready or not. If the toothpick comes out wet, continue baking until there are only a few moist crumbs on the tester.
