Ingredients

125 gram butter

125 gram dark eating chocolate, chopped

1 teaspoon peppermint essence

1 cup (220g) firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup (75g) gluten-free plain flour

1/3 cup (50g) rice flour

1/3 cup (20g) baby rice cereal

1/4 cup (25g) cocoa

2 eggs, lightly beaten

5 20g chocolate mint patties, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup (95g) white choc bits

pure icing sugar, for dusting (optional)

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease and line base of a l6cm x 26cm slice pan.

2.Melt butter in a large heavy-based saucepan on low heat until foaming. Stir in dark chocolate and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until melted, combined and smooth. Cool. Stir in peppermint essence and sugars until combined.

3.Combine flours, rice cereal and cocoa in a large bowl. Make a well at centre. Gradually add chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth. Add egg and stir to combine. Stir in mint patties.

4.Spoon into prepared pan. Scatter top with choc bits and bake for 30-35 minutes, until brownies are firm to touch and a skewer inserted at centre comes out fudgy. Cool completely in pan(brownies will firm) and dust with icing sugar, if you like. Cut into 20 pieces to serve.

Look for baby rice cereal, such as Farex, in the baby section of supermarkets. Chocolate mint patties and white choc bits are usually gluten-free, but be sure to check the labels on packets when shopping.
