Recipe: Yummy Gluten-Free Brownies

I know chocolate is listed as a histamine no-no, but it has never bothered me in moderation.  This recipe is also not strictly paleo due to the rice flour but you could use coconut flour if that is a concern.  It is gluten-free and as a treat, which I must have occasionally for my mental health ;-), it fits the bill without having a bunch of junk in it like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, dyes, preservatives, and so on.

I did not get a picture this time, but next time I bake them I'll try to remember to come back and add one.

Yummy Gluten-Free Brownies

Ingredients:

1 stick plus 2 TBSP butter, softened
1 c maple syrup
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 c Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c rice flour
1/4 c tapioca starch
2 eggs, lightly whisked

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease an 8x8 inch pan.  Combine butter, maple syrup, cocoa, and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.  Add the eggs, salt, and vanilla and continue to mix.  Sift in the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth.  Bake 25-30 minutes.  They are done when they pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.  Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
