Wheat free... Day 8 menu

Breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs with broccoli & chives
OJ

Lunch:
Quinoa stuffed green pepper ( leftovers from freezer )
Brown rice

Snack:
Brownie  ( recipe to follow at bottom of post )
Almond milk

Dinner:
Grilled chicken breast
Cauliflower with butter

Snack:
2 Dark chocolate mint creams (Trader Joe's )

Brownie recipe:

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup Coconut flour, sifted  ( Let's Do...Organic Coconut flour )
1 cup Chocolate chips, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan over low heat melt butter and cocoa until creamy and thickened. Remove from heat, cooling.
In a separate bowl , mix the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Blend this into the cocoa mixture. Stir in the coconut flour until no lumps appear. Add the chocolate chips if desired. Bake in a pre-greased 8x8 baking pan for 30-35 minutes.
These were more of a cake like brownie, but heavenly! One of my biggest downfalls in life are warm brownies fresh from the oven but I found that just one....okay, so one and a half, satisfied my sweet tooth...Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
