Sift and mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Sift in 3/4 cups of buckwheat flour and 3/4 cups of potato starch.

Add 1.5 cups of organic cane sugar and 3/4 cups of cacao powder.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.

Mix all dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients for the wet ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cups of water, 3/4 cups of oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whisk together.

Pour wet ingredients into the well of dry ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

Switch to a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure no dry ingredients are left behind.

Fold in bittersweet chocolate chips.

Transfer the batter to a 9 by 13 quarter sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Spread the batter into an even layer in the pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Rotate the pan and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Cool the brownies for about 15 minutes before cutting.

Remove the brownies from the pan using the cake extender and transfer to a cutting board.

Cut into squares and serve.
