We share a never-ending special relationship with brownies. The fudgy, cushion-y cake just melts in the mouth in every bite. Chocolate brownie is the most common one of all its variants. Chocolate and cakes are almost synonymous. We agree to that with all our heart. Just a little concern boggles out mind - what nutrition do we get when eat a brownie? The health awareness in today's time has taken over our minds too and it's only a good thing to happen. Not ready to part ways with our favourite brownie, we fished for an option of making brownie with a food of high degree of healthfulness. We are not talking about just any healthy food, we are talking about the new superfood - quinoa!
