Ah, chocolate, one of life's best gifts. Humans have been playing with all sorts of ways to use it, possibly the most legendary being brownies. Today I took my brownies to the next level by doubling the recipe to make them thick and adding big swirls of nutella. They're also gluten free, making them just a little healthier for those concerned about that.
What you need:
225 Butter
4 eggs
2 cups sugar, 14 oz
2/3 cup cocoa
1 t vanilla
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup peanut flour
Start with the butter eggs and sugar in a bowl, cream those together.
You're trying to make this, creamy and lightly whipped.
Add the cacao powder and vanilla and combine.
Then add the flours.
Butter a pan and pour the batter into it, spreading it as evenly as possible.
I used a simple doubler boiler method to make the nutella smoother. Just some water into a pan heating on the stove. I held the jar in so it was slightly submerged but not touching the bottom. Thirty seconds of this does a great deal.
Gob it on like so.
Using a toothpick or butterknife, swirl that stuff around.
Bake at about 350 for about a half hour, or until they look like this.
They say those with a craving for chocolate are just magnesium deficient. If that's the case, these are a healthy magnesium supplement in my opinion!
As always, enjoyed with the view of Acapulco at my feet.
Thanks for following and supporting, until next time!
