Next time, when making the brownie recipe (linked), mix all the dry ingredients together (including sugar), before adding in the melted margarine and rice flour paste (together). That may avoid some clumping.
Alternately, mix all the wet ingredients first, and then mix the flours in. Can use oil instead of melted margarine. Can use regular flour in place of 1/2 cup of the rice flour. .
*Do* use oil instead of margarine; I think the margarine makes the flavor worse rather than better.
I tested using a full cup of flour (half white, half whole wheat), and the results were similar to using half cup regular flour, half cup rice flour. I think the prefer the latter though.
For both the brownies and choc. chip cookie bars, when cutting them into bars, cut off the whole outer edge (cut off a narrow strip on each edge). The edge is crunchier, and it's better to have the crunchy parts separate from the nice chewy parts.
