Ingredients
- ½ cup raw uncooked white quinoa
- 1 ½ cup water
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons grape seed oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 batch of dairy-free fudge frosting (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Add quinoa and water to a small saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand with lid on for 5 minutes.
- Fluff with fork, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350F and coat a 8×8 cake pan with a dab of coconut oil or other oil.
- Place all ingredients, including cooked quinoa, into the bowl of your food processor or high powered blender. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake in center of oven for 38-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
I have not tried to use black or red quinoa in this recipe, but I’m just about certain that it would work.
I have not tried to use any other sugar in this recipe, but I’m sure any granulated sugar would work.
For non-dairy milk, I used unsweetened original almond milk. Any dairy-free milk would do the trick.
I have not tried to make this recipe vegan or egg-free but I suppose flax eggs (2 tablespoons of freshly ground flax mixed with 6 tablespoons of water and left to sit for 5 minutes) could work in this recipe.
I am sure that any other type of oil work work well in this recipe.
