Source of Recipe

Recipe Introduction

(looks sorta like blonde brownies)

List of Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
1/23 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/4 cup sugar (Ok to use Splenda)
1 egg (probably could sub & use just whites, but I didn't)
1/2 cup molasses (sub** * 3/4 cup sugar plus 1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar (increase liquid called for in recipe by 5 tablespoons)
1 cup grated, raw sweet potato (I put a little more)
1 tsp. grated orange rind (I used the dried peel in a jar)
1 cup Rice flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. each: baking powder & ground ginger
1 cup Oatmeal flour
1/4 cup rice milk


Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside. (could probably use a 9" square and microwave but would have to do 2 batches that way)
Mix the Apple sauce and sugar in a large electric mixer. Add egg and beat thoroughly. Add molasses (sub), sweet potato, and orange rind.
Sift together the Rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, and ginger. Stir in Oatmeal flour. Add dry ingredients alternately with Rice milk to the sweet potato mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mixture will be thick and stiff.
Spread in prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. While warm, cut into 54 bars. (9 rows by 6 rows-it's the small size bites that make it OK for diabetics.)
