Confectionery Quinoa Recipes

These Bittersweet Chocolate Cupcakes Are Made With Health in Mind

— February 21, 2013 — Lifestyle
Quinoa recipes are a must-have these days, what with the surge of people who are realizing the immense power that the ancient grain holds. As such, this bittersweet chocolate cupcake recipe replaces standard flour with the more health-conscious quinoa flour.

Quinoa flour is made essentially the same way that regular flour is made and can replace several instances of the stuff in ingredients throughout many cookbooks. However, it can come at a higher cost and isn't as accessible as it should be; with that said, it can be found at local health food stores or can be scoped out online.

This quinoa recipe uses the stuff to make cupcakes that are much more health-conscious not only because of the flour, but also due in part to the replacement of sugar with stevia, which is a far healthier alternative.
Trend Themes
1. Quinoa Flour - Opportunity to explore the use of quinoa flour as a healthier alternative to regular flour in various recipes.
2. Health-conscious Baking - Opportunity to develop recipes and products that prioritize health by using ingredients like quinoa flour and stevia as alternatives to standard ingredients.
3. Alternative Sweeteners - Opportunity to innovate with alternative sweeteners like stevia in baking recipes for a healthier approach to desserts.
Industry Implications
1. Health Food Stores - Opportunity for health food stores to stock and promote quinoa flour as a desirable ingredient for health-conscious consumers.
2. Online Grocery Delivery - Opportunity for online grocery delivery services to offer quinoa flour as a specialty ingredient for customers looking for healthier alternatives.
3. Recipe Websites/apps - Opportunity for recipe websites and apps to feature and create a collection of quinoa flour recipes that cater to health-conscious individuals.
