Chocolate Nut Brownies
Source of Recipe
I adapted this recipe from one in Australian Good Taste magazine - a great magazine for only $2.50.
Recipe Introduction
According to a magazine article I read, Americans know all about making wonderful Brownies. I don't, but my first attempt at modifying a Brownies recipe to make it gluten-free turned out absolutely delicious. That's mainly because of the small proportion of flour in the recipe. When experimenting, it always pays to look for recipes without much flour in them.
List of Ingredients
melted butter, for greasing
4oz butter, chopped
1 cup, firmly packed soft brown sugar
6 1/2oz good quality dark gluten-free chocolate, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup commercial gluten-free flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 1/4 cup mixed nuts: almonds, hazelnuts and cashews.
Recipe
Turn on the oven to 180 C (360 F). Put butter, sugar and chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on Medium High (650 watts 70%) for one minute. Stir well. Repeat. Stir well. Repeat for maybe a total of four minutes, stirring well so the ingredients are properly combined. Sift gluten-free flour, cocoa and baking powder into the mixture and stir well. Add the beaten eggs. Stir. Add nuts.
Line a greased 28x18cm (11x7 inch) cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Pour in mixture. Bake in preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Test with a skewer in the centre to check that it's cooked.
Gently remove baking paper and place on rack to cool. Slice. (May be eaten as a dessert with ice cream.
