Ingredients
140graw walnuts(about 1 and 1/4 cups walnut pieces)
60gchopped dark chocolate or vegan chocolate chips(like Enjoy Life brand)
Instructions
Lightly grease a standard sized loaf pan.
Add the walnuts to a food processor and process into a meal. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and pulse a few more times to mix. (You can also use a blender, but preparing the batter will take longer due to frequently stopping to scrape the sides).
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract and nondairy milk, and blend continuously until the mixture is completely smooth, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. In my high-speed blender it took about 90 seconds and in my food processor it took around 3 minutes.
Add the flours and blend again until smooth.
Transfer the batter from the blender and fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. Spread it out into an even layer in the loaf pan. It should be quite thick. I just add the chocolate chips straight to the loaf pan to save dirtying an extra bowl.
Let the batter rest for 20 minutes while the oven is preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This step is needed for the best texture - rice flour can be grainy if it doesn't have sufficient time to absorb liquid.
Bake for 34-36 minutes, or until the edges are starting to pull away from the pan slightly and the brownies feel somewhat firm.
Let cool for at least 60 minutes before slicing. As with many baked goods of this persuasion, the first one that you slice may not be the most attractive but all of the subsequent brownies are easier to slice. :)
