Ingredients
- 180 g raw white quinoa
- 3 eggs
- 80 ml melted coconut oil
- 80 g whole cane sugar
- Juice of ½ organic orange
- 80 g chocolate chips
- 10 g baking powder
- Zest of 1 organic orange
Instructions
Start by washing the quinoa thoroughly with fresh water several times, until the water runs completely clear, to remove any saponin residue.
Place it in a small pot and add twice as much water as quinoa, in our case 360 g, plus one teaspoon of coconut oil. Cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes.
Once it has absorbed all the liquid, fluff it with a fork so the grains separate well. Let cool.
Place the cold quinoa, eggs, coconut oil, and sugar in a bowl; blend well with an immersion blender.
When you get a smooth batter, it is ready.
Add the orange zest and freshly squeezed orange juice, then stir with a spatula.
Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
Lastly, add the well-sifted baking powder and stir.
Grease an 18 or 20 cm pan, pour in the mixture, and gently level it.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) in a preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Let cool and unmold. Enjoy with your favorite drink.
Enjoy your meal!
