These have become our families favorite treat! This recipe is adapted from Eating Well March/April 2013.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup smooth or crunchy natural almond butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar (or 3/4 cup maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup quinoa flour (simply grind raw quinoa in a coffee grinder or blender to make the flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

I have also tried replacing the quinoa for almond meal and it is equally delicious!

It's an occasional treat you can feel good about!
