Gluten-Free Food,Kiwi Style

2 weeks ago with a committee meeting being held at my place and my oven out of order using the microwave became a necessity.  Thankgoodness I remembered that I had a quick basic microwave brownie recipe that I could convert to gluten-free and upgrade a little.  This is it:

QUICK GLUTEN-FREE MICROWAVE BROWNIE

100g semi-soft butter

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup sugar

75g chocolate drops, roughly chopped

100g dried cranberries

1 cup GF baking flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp guar gum

5 T cocoa

icing sugar to dust

In a medium microwave-safe bowl melt the butter on high for about 40 seconds or until melted.  Stir in the eggs, sugar and vanilla, mix well. Add cranberries and chocolate.  Stir in the flour, baking powder, guar gum  and cocoa. Spread the mixture into a glass baking dish lined with baking paper.  Microwave on high for 5 minutes.  Cool completely before dusting with icing sugar and cutting.
