Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies

I love dark chocolate, and I have passed the love of chocolate on to my daughter Makenna. Together we made these brownies for the first time. I am trying to incorporate more gluten-free cooking, so I can cut down on the refined white flour I consume. These brownies are delicious! After tasting them Makenna put them out for her brother and Dad, who are on their way home from a baseball tournament.

After reading lots of recipes on line I adapted this one.

*2/3 cup almond flour

*1/3 brown rice flour

*1 cup of 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips

*6 tablespoons unsalted butter

*1/2 teaspoon sea salt

*3/4 cup sugar

*1 teaspoon vanilla

*2 eggs

*1 cup walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil, then grease the foil with butter.

2 .Mix the rice flour to the almond flour and set aside.

3. Place the chocolate, butter and salt in a double boiler to melt. Stir constantly until fully melted. Set aside to cool.

4. Place cooled chocolate in a mixing bowl. Add sugar and vanilla. Add eggs. Add the flour mixture, mix until incorporated, then add walnuts.

5. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Enjoy! Let me know how you like them.

As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit.
