brownie - Quinoa Brownies

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked Quinoa
• 1 ⁄4 cup Rolled Oats
• 1 ⁄2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
• 2 ⁄3 cups Coconut Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Vegan Butter
• 1 ⁄2 cup Butternut Squash Puree
• 1 ⁄3 cup Vanilla Almond Milk (or regular + 1 tsp vanilla)
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 4 tablespoons Ground Flax
• 1 cup Dark Chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cook butternut squash - either over the stovetop or in the microwave. (I cooked mine in the microwave -- added 1/3 cup water and microwaved for 4 minutes. Then drained).

Add almond milk to the cooked butternut squash, and then puree with an immersion blender. 

Add all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.

Spray a 9x9 glass baking pan with non-stick spray.

Pour in the brownie batter and cook for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
