Wholesome Mini Cacao Berry Quinoa Cakes

Hello there!

I decided to start blogging on Chocoláctica.nl in an effort to share more with you. Chocoláctica is my main project but I love spending time in the kitchen and over the years I have developed so many recipies I could write a cooking book….hmmm, maybe I should?

Anyway, I love looking for recipies and trying them out, so as a thank you I also share my recipies for other people to try out. I think in this way internet is indeed an amazing platform where knowledge, experience and ideas can be shared.

This is a recipe I have been making for years. I came up with it while still living in  Ecuador, experimenting with gluten free baking. There weren’t really any gluten free flour options back then, so I started making my own mixes.

This one is really nice because it uses freshly cooked quinoa and brown rice! So yummy and healthy!

Dry:

1/2C brown rice flour (brown rice blended into a flour 
1C cooked quinoa
1/4C cacao powder
2t baking powder
1/2t baking soda
pinch of salt

2 lineseed eggs (blend 2TBS lineseeds with 8TBS of water)
2TBS cacao butter melted
2TBS coconut suger (optional if you like it extra sweet)

Extra’s:

chopped cacao paste

  • Blend all the wet ingredients into a smooth paste. Add a bit of water for the blending to start.
  • Mix wet & Dry
  • Add some berries to the dough mix
  • Chop cacao paste and add into the mix
  • Pour dough mix into a bread/cake/cupcake mould, and distribute berries on top.
