Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter softened (or margarine for dairy free)
- 3/4 cup peanut butter smooth or crunchy
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup quinoa flour see notes below
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper. It should slightly overhang opposite ends so you can pull up on it when it's done. Coat with cooking spray.
- Beat butter and nut butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs, brown sugar and vanilla.
- Combine quinoa flour, baking powder and salt then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread or press as evenly as possible.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake. Let cool in the pan for at least an hour before removing from pan and cutting.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can make your own quinoa flour by grinding quinoa in a coffee grinder.
