Recipe: Chewy Gingerbread Bars

[runpunkrun]

These gingerbread bars from Cafe Johnsonia are chewy, spicy, and super delicious. The edges are chewy like a brownie, with the center being a little more dense and sticky. You can pick the bars up and eat them without them falling apart in your hands, but the crumb is still nice and light, and they're not gritty in the slightest.

Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice flour (140 grams)
1/2 cup sorghum flour (70 grams)
1/4 cup cornstarch (30 grams)
1/4 cup tapioca starch or sweet rice flour
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup oil
1 cup granulated sugar (225 grams)
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger (optional)
