Healthy quinoa bites because I love puffed quinoa. Often you feel like a snack and it should preferably be healthy and delicious at the same time. I am completely in love with puffed quinoa and could bake with it all day. Today I wanted to make something very simple with it, a snack that goes quickly and is best snacked on straight from the freezer. Quinoa together with peanut butter and chocolate, can it get any better? I don’t think so, and that’s why I would say let’s get right into it.
Quinoa bites (5 ingredients)
Our snack today really couldn’t be simpler. Puffed quinoa, maple syrup, peanut butter and bourbon vanilla. This is all made into a fine measure and pressed into muffin tins. Then it also goes straight into the freezer and in the meantime the chocolate is melted. Finally, dip in and let chocolate set. Sound simple? It is.
You can’t really go wrong with this recipe, however there is one thing that is a little tricky and that is filling and flattening the quinoa mixture into the ramekins. For this purpose, your fingers should be slightly moistened, otherwise the dough will stick easily. Also, be sure to solidify the quinoa bites in the freezer before coating with chocolate. Otherwise, they are too soft and difficult to remove from the molds. But that’s all and the rest is really easy.
TIP: You can use either fine peanut butter or the crunchy variety. Both varieties work wonderfully for this recipe. If you are using a peanut butter without salt, then I recommend adding a pinch of salt.
Healthy vegan snacks without sugar
For those who do not like quinoa, I recommend puffed spelt, amaranth, rice or millet as a substitute.
If you’re in the mood for another healthy snack today, I recommend the following alternatives:
- Healthy date muffins
- Golden Milk Donuts
- Ginger Tahini Biscuits
- Buckwheat Brittle
- Cookie Snack Bites
- Nut Chocolate Brittle
- Soft quinoa date slices
- Vegan butter fingers
- Salted Caramel Bliss Balls
Matching the healthy snacks is a delicious drink like a hot chai chocolate, hazelnut milk orimmune booster latte.
