Blondies for everyone!

When we first went gluten-free, we made Namaste Foods blondie mix quite often, as it would take us right back to our free-wheeling wheat-eating days. I still like to have a bag of their mix on hand for last-minute needs, but this recipe is a great approximation for a fraction of the price.

Melt:
1/2 cup margarine (we use Fleischman's low-sodium since it's dairy-free)

Mix in:
2 cups packed brown sugar (if you're watching salicylates, you may want to substitute some white sugar here)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed plus 6 Tbsp water (let it sit for a few minutes first)
2 tsp vanilla

Then mix in:
2 cups all-purpose rice flour blend
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

The mixture will be pretty thick, but you can pat it down to cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.
