I have mentioned it time and time again, I am a huge quinoa fan.
So when I found out that there was such thing as puffed (or popped) quinoa I was excited to try it!
And so these tasty treats were born!
Here’s what you’ll need-
1 & 1/2 Cups Puffed Quinoa ( you can buy it
, or here some great instructions on how to make it)
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
1/8 Cup Honey
1- tsp Vanilla
2- Tbsp Coconut Oil
pinch of salt
Combine your peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, vanilla and salt in a sauce pan. Heat over med/low heat for about 5 minutes stirring constantly until well blended.
Pour in your quinoa and stir until it is well coated.
Now using a small dough scoop, scoop it out and place on a cookie sheet. (you can also use a spoon, or roll it into balls)
Pop them in the fridge until they are set (about an hour) and then you can put them in a container and store them in the fridge. These make a great snack for anytime, just a little sweet, a little crunch! You’ll love them!

These are like my no bakes, but with quinoa instead of oats. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing on Weekend Bites
Thesse bites sound great! Thank you for sharing at Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party!
WOW– These look great. I never considered using quinoa is dessert recipes. I am a HUGE peanut butter fan and I have all these ingredients in my cupboard! I love that it’s no bake, perfect for summer so I don’t have to heat my house with the oven!!
I’ve always used quinoa as a dinner or side dish, I’ve just recently started using in sweets and I’m experimenting with some breakfast recipes too!
