Featuring U.S. Rice

Ingredients

500 g	good quality dark chocolate (not Bakers), chopped
125 g	butter
2 tbsp	instant espresso powder, divided
2	eggs
250 g	packed brown sugar
250 g	cooked U.S. brown rice
50 g	brown rice flour
1/2 tsp	salt
1/4 tsp	baking soda
2 tsp	vanilla
125 g	chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired
125 g	chocolate chips for the top, if desired

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180 C°. Line a 23 cm square baking pan with parchment or foil and lightly oil the bottom.
Step 2
In microwave, melt the dark chocolate, butter and 1 tbsp of the espresso powder in a large (microwave safe) measuring cup. Stir together to combine. Set aside.
Step 3
In bowl, beat the eggs on medium high until 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.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the brown rice, rice flour, espresso powder, salt and baking soda until well combined. Add the rice mixture into the chocolate mixture and beat well for a minute. Add the vanilla, beat one minute.
Step 5
Fold in the nuts and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top to even it out. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and remaining nuts. Shake the pan a little to help even out the batter.
Step 6
Bake in the centre of the oven just until the brownies are set, about 30 to 35 minutes. Don’t overcook (they should be fudgy rather than dry and crumbly).
Step 7
Cool completely on a wire rack before covering and transferring to refrigerator to chill for at least two hours and up to one day before cutting into squares (they are easier to cut cold).
