Ingredients
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1 cup cacao powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cacao powder, and sugar. Mix well until fully combined.
- Gradually add in the chopped nuts and stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- Add 1 cup of water to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve.
