ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup sorghum flour
- 2 tablespoons sorghum flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large eggs or 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
directions
- Grind macadamia nuts to make 1 cup, Then toast the macadamia nuts in the oven at 350* for about 8 minutes (be sure to watch them so they don't burn) I also like to add 1/2 cup walnuts for 1/2 cup of the macadamia nuts,It also makes the recipe cost a little less to make, since walnuts are cheaper than macadamia nuts.
- Put the sorghum flour, tapioca flour,xanthan gum, soda, sugar, vanilla,honey, eggs, and macadamia nuts,in the mixer bowl and blend together on low speed. It will get kinda chunky looking. I found it was a little sticky. Press into a greased 9 x 13 pan. If it is sticking to your hands you can dip your fingers into a little sorghum flour to help with this process. Bake at350* for 8 to 10 minutes. While it is baking make the frosting using the powdered sugar, mayonnaise, water and vanilla.
- If the frosting is hard to mix, add a little more water, but be careful to not add too much at a time.
- Frost the bars while they are still warm, so the frosting sets up like a glaze. You can reduce the amount of frosting if you like, The original recipe had less sugar in the glaze, but we like it this way.
