Fudgy Quinoa Flour Brownies

Yes, you read quinoa correctly.

Unless you read it “quinn-oh-a".”

INGREDIENTS

3 eggs

1 cup maple sugar

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 tablespoons Justin's Almond Butter (we used Coconut Almond Butter)

2 tablespoons brewed coffee

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup quinoa flour

2 tablespoons coconut flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, plus more for topping (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9"x 9" baking pan and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs and maple sugar until smooth. 

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and almond butter in the microwave for about one minute. Stir until fully combined.

Slowly pour chocolate mixture into sugar mixture, and beat well. Add in coffee and vanilla.

In a separate bow, whisk together flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture, and mix until just combined.

Fold in dark chocolate chips.

Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake 22-28 minutes. Brownies will appear slightly underbaked.

Remove from oven, and top with additional chocolate chips, as desired. Cool completely in pan.
