Quinoa Brownies

Came across this great recipe the other day on pinterest and modified it a bit to make it gluten-free :) It makes a great fudgey chocolatey brownie without all the refined sugars!

Makes 16 Brownies

Ingredients:
-1 Cup Cooked Quinoa
-2 Tbsp Organic Cane Sugar
-1/4 Cup UnsweetenedCocoa
-1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
-3 Tbsp Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
-2 Eggs
-1 Tbsp Vanilla
-2 Tbsp Agave or Honey
-1/8 Tsp Baking Soda
-1/4 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips (topping)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Place all ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth.
Stir chocolate chips into pureed batter.
Grease your 8×8 baking dish.
Spread batter evenly into pan.
Bake for 19-22 minutes.
Remove brownies from oven and let set for 5-10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Let cool and cut into bars.

P.S. This is a "healthy brownie" so to speak, if you're looking for something sweet try the recipe for the bean brownie that I posted in March.
