8 tablespoons butter plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
4 ounces gluten-free beer
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1¼ cups all purpose gluten-free flour blend
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¾ cup fresh or jarred cherries coarsely chopped (apples or cranberries will also work well)
¾ cup chocolate chips
Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.
In a small saucepan, melt the 8 tablespoons butter over low heat.
Add the sugar and stir constantly until it dissolves, about 1 minute.
Slowly add in the gluten-free beer and simmer for 2 minutes over low heat.
Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Once cool, whisk in the egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour blend and sea salt.
Slowly mix the butter and sugar mixture into the flour and stir until just combined.
Fold in the cherries and chocolate chips.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges pull away slightly from the sides and the center feels firm to the touch.
Allow to cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
