S'more Brownie Bites

S'More Brownie Bites- via Giada De Laurentiis

Makes 18 Brownies

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 ¼ cups mini chocolate chips

½ cup sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup quinoa flour

¾ cup mini marshmallows

¼ cup graham cracker crumbs or 4 large graham crackers, finely crushed

1. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a mini-cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add ¾ cup of the mini chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour until the mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in the remaining ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
3. Using a small cookie scoop, fill each paper liner with about 2 heaping tablespoons of batter. Push 3 mini marshmallows halfway down into the center of the batter. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of the graham cracker crumbs over the marshmallows. Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and light golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes and serve.

Freutcake Notes: Do not cook past 12 minutes. The center may be soft but will firm up after cooling. Also, quinoa flour adds a lovely nutty flavor and density to the brownie bites as well as fiber...try it!
