About This Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons molasses
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cassava flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips + plus more for topping ((about 5 tablespoons total))

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and 9x9 baking dish with butter or oil.
2. Mix together wet ingredients. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, slightly melt the butter until softened. I did this by placing it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds and then stirring it to combine. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla and mix to combine. Add your dry ingredients - cassava flour, spices, baking powder, and salt and whisk until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Bake. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle with a little more chocolate chips if you like. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a slight crust forms on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure not to overbake or they won't be as fudgy. Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Slice into 9 and enjoy!
