Waynes Quinoa Brownies
Ingredients
I’ve used organic quinoa flour from a couple local health food stores, as well as Bob’s Red Mill (both organic and non organic) and they’ve all worked well. For some reason Costco quinoa flour has failed every one of the few times I’ve tried it … the moisture content is dramatically wrong, I don’t know why.
<> 250 ml unsulphered blackstrap molasses (half container of 675 gram Crosby’s Blackstrap = 337.5 g)
<> 175 ml coconut oil, warmed to liquid
<> 4 eggs, beaten
<> 1000 ml quinoa flour
<> 2 TBSP cinnamon
<> 500 ml Hershey’s Natural 100% cocoa (1 container at 226 grams)
<> 700 ml raisins
<> 1250 ml filtered boiled water
<><>1000 ml for cocoa liquid
<><> 250 ml for molasses-coconut oil mix
<> This recipe will fill an 800 sq cm baking pan to about 3cm deep ... can use 2 baking pans
<><><><><>
Directions (prep about 0:30 min)
<> Melt 175 ml coconut oil & boil 1250 ml filtered water
<> Preheat oven to 350°F
<> Grease baking pans with melted coconut oil
<> Add 700 ml raisins to 3 litre mixing container
<> Add 1000 ml filtered boiling water to 3 litre mixing container
<> Measure 250 ml molasses (half of 675 g carton of Crosby’s Blackstrap Molasses), add 250 ml water (if you adjust molasses then adjust water so they always total 500 ml), add 175 ml coconut oil & cream together until smooth, add to mixing container
<> Add 2 TBSP cinnamon to mixing container
<> Add 4 beaten eggs to mixing container
<> Add 500 ml cocoa & 2 TBSP cinnamon and mix (add cocoa last so it doesn’t clump in straight water)
<> Pour into large 8 litre mixing bowl
<> Add 1000 ml quinoa flour a bit at a time & mix well (a food processor may work good here if it’s not too much effort to clean it after, but I’ve never tried one)
<> Pour runny batter into greased pan(s)
<> Bake at 350°F for 45 min (at 1000 metres altitude).
<> After it cools, wash your hands and better yet, use medical gloves to cut into pieces and put into a covered container in the fridge … it will last s couple weeks before it grows mould.
