Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Bars







I don't know about you, but I love anything with cinnamon and sugar. These bars are really easy to make and taste great! 



2 brown rice flour*
2/3 cup sorghum flour*
1 teaspoon xanthum gum2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For topping:2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.

Stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan (mixture will be somewhat cookiebatter-ish.) Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool in pan 15 minutes on a baking rack. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a rack. Once cool, cut them into bars.


*If you don't have sorghum flour, and only brown rice, go ahead and use 2 2/3 cups of brown rice flour, it should work fine.
