Recipe from: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2010/06/banana-ice-cream-pops.html

Theres no reason to forgo dessert just because you are gluten-free. Instead, experiment with gluten-free flours.

Prep Time

360 minutes

Cook Time

30 minutes

Yield

9 Servings

Ingredients

5 ounces chocolate, Belgian dark
1⁄2 egg
1 cup brown sugar
1⁄2 cup almonds
1⁄4 cup flour, brown rice
1⁄2 teaspoon salt (fine, sea salt)
1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, bourbon
1⁄2 cup pecans (or walnuts, chopped)
1⁄2 cup chocolate chips, semisweet (for the top)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with foil and lightly oil the bottom.

2. Using the microwave, melt the dark chocolate and butter in a large (microwave safe) measuring cup. Stir together to combine. Set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs on medium high till frothy. Add the brown sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth. Add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture a little at a time - incorporate it slowly- and beat well for a good minute. The chocolate will look smooth and glossy.

4. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond meal, rice flour, fine sea salt and baking soda; whisk together. Add the dry flour mix into the chocolate mixture and beat well for a minute. Add the vanilla, beat another half a minute or so.

5. If you are adding nuts, stir in the nuts by hand and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Shake the pan a little bit to even out the batter. Layer the semi-sweet chips all over the top of the batter and press them in slightly, if adding.

6. Bake in the center of a preheated 350 degree oven for 33 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set. Don't overcook. Cool on a wire rack; and remove the brownies from the pan by gripping the foil edges. Chill before cutting.
