\"coffeeThere is a new type of gluten free flour out there that I am very interested in. Coffee flour<\/a>! Coffee flour is made from the fruit of the coffee cherry, which means it is caffeinated. This alternative use of the pulp (which would usually be discarded)\u00a0offers a supplemental\u00a0income for coffee farmers, and removes bio waste from water sources. The only downside is that this stuff can be hard to find, it can only be ordered online, and quantities are limited. This weekend I was at Trader Joe’s, and on the bottom shelf a bag caught my eye. I had to scoop \u00a0up a few bags to share with partners, but on the back of the bag is an easy recipe for coffee truffle brownies, so I thought I should share that here as well.

I should clarify something, this recipe is easy if you live near a Trader Joe’s. I actually do not, but we do make the trek down south to hit Trader Joe’s. At the end of this post, I’ll include links on where you can buy coffee flour and an alternate recipe for coffee brownies.<\/p>\n

Most everyone assumes that coffee flour will taste like coffee. It doesn’t. Think of the cascara syrup, remember that dark, fruity smell? That is very similar to what coffee flavor will taste like. I really love to use it with anything chocolate, because it really deepens the flavor. Since the taste is so different and overpowering, you will want to use it sparingly.\u00a0In this recipe for the boxed brownie mix, we are only adding 3 tablespoons of coffee flour.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, coffee flour does contain caffeine, approximately 12 grams per ounce. Coffee flour is also very high in fiber, around 7g per tablespoon.\u00a0Please be aware that to compensate for the increased fiber content, you will have to increase your moisture\/water in your recipe. The coffee flour from Trader Joe’s is sourced from Nicaragua.<\/p>\n
