Gluten-free Quinoa brownies … Maker approved!
This weekend, I was out at the first ever Vancouver Island Mini Maker Faire — part expo, part gathering of like-minded makers, and part hands-on making time. The event was produced and executed by Victoria Makerspace (the go-to place for makers needing woodworking equipment, laser cutters, 3-d printers, or metal-working equipment …).
I was helping run the concession to keep the hungry Makers supplied in coffee and snacks, and made up several dozen pistachio-lime-rosewater cookies, and THESE gluten-free brownies which went down a treat with Makers of all ages and dietary ilks. I guarantee you these ARE so delicious you will never miss the gluten and dairy!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sorghum flour
- 1 cup quinoa flakes
- 3/4 cup light buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp xantham gum
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup hot coffee (or slightly more as required to make a stiff batter)
- 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan with a parchment sling, and lightly grease the sides.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, and whisk well to combine.
- Form a well and add the wet ingredients, (eggs first, whisking well to combine). Mix well with a spatula, and then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until just set. Let cool before slicing
Notes
This recipe easily halves or doubles. If you bake a 1/2 batch, bake in an 8" square pan. If you double the recipe, and are baking 2 pans, make sure you rotate the pans half-way through.
Bake this in the heaviest pan you have -- or place your baking pan on a baking sheet to help moderate the temperature and allow the brownies to cook more evenly.
