How to Make Super Brownies
- Cook 1 cup quinoa according to package directions. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (15.25 oz) gluten-free brownie mix, ½ cup almond meal, ½ cup ground walnuts, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ¼ cup hemp seeds. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 ripe mashed bananas, the cooked quinoa, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp almond extract, ½ cup oil (vegetable or coconut), and ¼ cup strong brewed coffee. Blend with an immersion blender or in a regular blender until frothy.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out later.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp almond meal and 1 tbsp brown sugar.
- Sprinkle the almond meal mixture evenly over the partially baked brownies.
- Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before refrigerating overnight for optimal fudginess.
- Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares. Enjoy!
