Peanut Butter Bites
These not-too-sweet mini desserts combine the flavors of peanut butter cups and chocolate cake. Quinoa flour adds protein and makes these gluten-free, but feel free to substitute white whole-wheat flour instead.
Ingredients
-
¾ cup smooth natural peanut butter
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
2 large eggs
-
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ cup quinoa flour or white whole-wheat flour
-
⅓ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Description
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
-
Beat peanut butter and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs, brown sugar and vanilla. Whisk quinoa (or whole-wheat) flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Divide the batter among the prepared mini muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with chocolate chips.
-
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a brownie comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool completely before storing, about 1 hour.
