Gluten Free Brownies

Update 4/17/13 - I found that using chips to melt left a oil residue.  I switched to using chocolate (you can use any chocolate bar or baking chocolate) I use Endangered Species.

Brownies continue to be a favorite in my house.  When I make them they usually do not last more than a few days.  We have made some changes and this is my latest version.

1.  In a bowl combine

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup white rice flour

1/4 cup black bean flour

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Ghirardelli)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp xanthan gum

and mix with a whisk or place in a sealed tuberware container and shake.

2.  Over a double boiler combine

12 tablespoons of GF butter or butter substitute

4 oz of GF chocolate (I use Ghirardelli 60% bittersweet)

melt and turn off heat and do not let it burn.

3.  In a bowl whisk together

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon of GF vanilla extract

4 eggs

whisk for a few minutes until the graininess of the sugar is gone.

4.  Add the melted chocolate/butter to the sugar/egg mixture

5.  Fold in the brownie mix

6.  Fold in 4 oz of chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli semi-sweet)

7.  Pour into a well buttered 9x9 pan and cook in preheated oven at 350 degree for about 45 minutes.

Enjoy,
