Chocolate brownies
5 tablespoons (1/4 cup--1/2 stick--plus 1 tablespoon) butter
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
9 tablespoons (1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt butter over low heat. Stir in brown rice syrup. Stir in the cocoa a little at a time, whisking in each addition until blended. Remove from heat and cool about 15 minutes. Blend in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and salt. Stir in flour a little at a time. Add nuts and stir well. Spread batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool in the pan and cut into squares.
I am going to try this using maple instead of rice syrup I think
