Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Quinoa cooked
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
2 tablespoons Flax Meal
6 tablespoons Water
1/4 cup Coconut Oil melted and cooled slightly (refined coconut oil is best)

1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips dairy free

Instructions

Prepare the flax egg by combining the flax meal with 6 tbsp water in a small bowl or ramekin. Set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set. Cook the quinoa according to package instruction if not already cooked.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan by lightly spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Do not over mix.
Transfer the batter to baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
Bake 35-45 minutes in the oven or until a toothpick can be removed clean from the center of the brownies.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan 30 minutes before slicing. I used a plastic knife to slice the brownies cleaner.
