This recipe uses brown rice syrup instead of sugar. An added bonus to using brown rice syrup is that it reduces the amount of calories in a recipe. You can also substitute brown rice flour for the wheat flour.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (120mL) brown rice syrup

2 Tbsp (30g) unsalted butter

3 1-oz. (30g) squares unsweetened baking chocolate

1 tsp (5mL) vanilla

2 eggs

1/2 cup (60g) sifted all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and chocolate on low heat. Stir in brown rice syrup. Remove from heat. Blend in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Stir in flour and pecans.
