Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips at least 70% cocoa
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional
  • 1/4 cup dried fruit optional

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until well combined.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate over the quinoa mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly to form small discs.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  6. Once set, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy your crispy treats! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
