Gluten free, Corn free, soy free Millet bars

Hey everyone! Here I am posting before the weekend is up. Ha. I kept my word . . . and you doubted me. Shame on you.

Well, I forgive you. Moving on.

I am so excited about this new feature Foodbuzz just installed. It's called Healthbuzz and it has a specialized area for those who have food allergies as well as a vast library of other bloggers post's having to deal with other health issues. Another great feature is the section on Fitness. There are soooo many bloggers out there focusing on weight loss! It's inspiring. Plus, if you do check it out, you might just catch a glimpse of me over at Healthbuzz. Thats right. Your little ol' Funny Girl is a Contributing Editor over at Healthbuzz. So, go check it out. I'll wait here.

You back? Good.

Well remember that picture I teased you with earlier this weekend? Well now you are finally going to get the recipe! This recipe is Gluten-free, Soy-free, Corn-free, Dairy-free, and Egg-free. This recipe started with a flopped blondie recipe. When I tried to make it work, it came out amazing. So now I make "bad" blondies on purpose, and often.

1/3 c. Garbanzo Bean Flour
2/3 c. Millet Flour

This looks amazingly decadent!

At first I didn't think there was chocolate in it but then I realized that it was listed towards the end of the post.

Does it slice well when it has hardened? What is the texture of the millet bars like? It looks delicious anyway!

How cool is the Health Buzz section! I'm a contributing editor as well. I'm gonna add you as a friend there!

Hey Michelle Thanks for commenting!

Yes, the recipe has chocolate chips and a chocolate layer on top.
It slices well at room tempurature, but when it's cold the chocolate gets kind of brittle.

The millet bars have a cakie-cookie kind of texture . . . real nice with the chocolate layer. I will definitely have to check out your recipes on HealthBuzz.

Thanks, Aubree Cherie!
