Ingredients 

FOR SERVING optional

Instructions

1. Thoroughly rinse quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer for 2 minutes, using your hands to sort through and pick out any discolored pieces or pebbles that may remain.
2. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add rinsed, drained quinoa and toast for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, to dry up water and slightly toast.
3. Add almond milk, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt, and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. If it stops simmering, increase heat to medium-low. You’re looking for a slight simmer throughout the cooking time.
4. Once the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, remove from heat and add  PureNaturalMiracles.com Organic Raw Cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla (optional). Stir to combine.
5. Taste and adjust flavor as needed. Add a bit more almond milk if you prefer the texture thinner. I added more  PureNaturalMiracles.com Organic Raw Cacao powder and maple syrup for a more intense chocolate flavor.
6. Serve each bowl of quinoa with the topping of your choice including PureNaturalMiracles.com Organic Raw Cacao Nibs .
7. Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave, or in a small saucepan with additional almond milk to add moisture back in.

Note that this recipe makes 4 servings, perfect for intimate breakfast!

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! (Cinderella)

Buy HERE or Buy at AMAZON.com

Cake Ingredients 

• 2/3 cup mashed ripe banana 
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or yogurt
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp almond butter 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
• 1 ¼ cup dairy-free milk 
• 1 cup sifted PureNaturalMiracles.com Organic Raw Cacao Powder. 
• 1 cup potato starch
• 2 ½ cups almond flour 
• 1-2 tsp finely ground espresso powder or dark roast coffee

For the frosting “Vegan Chocolate Ganache” (Optional)

• 1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond or coconut milk
• 1 1/4 cup dairy-free dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup vegan butter 
• 1 1/4 - 2 cups organic powdered sugar

.Cake Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and lightly grease (avocado oil is best) two standard 8-inch round cake pans, one 9×13-inch pan, or three 6-inch round pans (our preferred) and dust with cocoa powder. Shake out excess and set aside.
2. To a large mixing bowl add banana and mash (measure to ensure it’s the correct quantity). Then add applesauce (or yogurt), vanilla, almond butter, and whisk to combine. Next add maple syrup, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt (optional) and whisk to combine.
3. Next, add dairy-free milk and whisk to combine. Then add sifted  PureNaturalMiracles.com Organic Raw Cacao Powder and whisk to combine. Then add potato starch and whisk to combine.
4. Next add almond flour a little at a time until the batter has reached a pourable, saucy consistency (see photo). It shouldn’t be thick like brownie batter and it shouldn’t be watery. If too thin, continue adding almond flour. If too thick, thin with a little dairy-free milk. We used about 2 ½ cups almond flour (as the original recipe is written). Depending on your ingredients, you may need more or less. At this time you can whisk in some espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor (optional). Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste.
5. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pan(s) and bake on a center rack for 28-38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out free of crumbs (a little brown color is okay) and the edges appear dry / slightly pulled away from the pan. Be careful not to over-bake.
6. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. To remove from pans, run a dull knife around the edge of the pans to loosen the cakes. Then place a plate or cooling rack on top and quickly invert. Let cool completely before frosting (~1 hour // expedite the process by cooling briefly in the refrigerator or freezer)

For the frosting “Vegan Chocolate Ganache frosting” (Optional)

1. Add almond milk to a mixing bowl and microwave for 1 minute. (Alternatively, heat in a saucepan until hardly simmering and then transfer back to mixing bowl.)
2. Immediately add chocolate to warm milk but don’t touch for 2 minutes so it can melt. Cover to encourage melting.
3. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate, then add softened butter (or coconut oil) and cover. Let rest untouched for another 10 minutes to meld.
4. Use your mixer to beat the mixture together. Then add 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted to reduce clumps), mix again, and place in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when you tip it and it’s slow to move.
5. Remove from the fridge and beat again. If it’s still too thin, add another 1/4 cup powdered sugar at a time (sifted) and beat until light and fluffy. (As the recipe is written) I found that chilling for a total of 45 minutes-1 hour and adding 1 3/4 cups total powdered sugar was perfect.

1. At this point, you can enjoy your cake as is. But we recommend frosting with Vegan Chocolate Ganache Frosting 
2. Best fresh and within the first couple of days after baking. The texture tends to become dried out after that (using dairy-free yogurt in place of applesauce adds more moisture!). Store cake covered at room temperature for 2-3 days* or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Freeze up to 1 month (then thaw at room temperature).

Note that this recipe makes 14 servings so find your crew and indulge!
