Easy gluten-free brownies are a treat. Great for birthdays, high-tea or parties. We also like to take them on picnics. Decadent chocolate icing and walnuts are a special touch.
Ingredients
1 cup gluten free self raising flour
½ cup rice flour
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup dark chocolate bits
½ cup walnuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
2 tblsp water
100g copha, melted
Icing sugar or drinking chocolate to dust
Method
Pre-heat oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 30 x 15cm slab tin
In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, choc bits and walnuts. Mix thoroughly and make a well in the centre
Whisk together the vanilla, eggs and water, and then pour the mixture onto the dry ingredients
Pour the melted Copha into bowl and mix all ingredients together until just combined. Do not over mix
Spoon mixture into the greased and lined baking pan and smooth the surface
Bake the brownies in the pre-heated oven at 170°C for 30 minutes. The centre should still be moist
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack
Once brownies have cooled, cut into squares using a sharp knife and dust with icing sugar or drinking chocolate
Tips & Hints
Rice flour maybe replaced with chestnut or soy flour. Walnuts maybe replaced with chopped roasted hazelnuts.
