Blondies #2 (Gluten-Free)

A dense, moist, brownielike bar with nuts, but not chocolate. I do include a little melted chocolate to drizzle over the tops, but you may resist if you like. These cookies are delicious at room temperature, but not as much when warm.

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2
In a medium-size bowl, combine the oil, butter, and sugar. Beat well. Add the sorghum flour and beat well. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl at least once during mixing. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Continue beating until the dough comes together; it will be a heavy batter.
3
Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, until a toothpick tests cleanly and the edges begin to brown (and pull away from the sides of the pan).
4
Let cool. Cut into 18 bars. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the bars, if desired.
