Brownie Bites--WAIT! They are GLUTEN FREE!!

These brownies were surprisingly welcomed by my 5 and 6 year old daughters. The texture was rich and dense without being overly heavy or sweet. The hint of almonds in it adds a chocolate cherry flavor that should please young and old at your own house! We decided to try to do a gluten free version because, after all, we are scientists in the kitchen.

1 cup White Rice Flour
1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
1 cup Sucanat
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

Mix in rice flour, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt. Continue to blend on medium speed adding in the water slowly until a rich fudge like texture is formed. It is important to note that when you use Sucanat as a sweetener you need to allow time for the sugar to mix in with the liquids.
Add to a non-stick 9 inch cake pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
