Description

This easy no-bake 3 Ingredient Chocolate Quinoa Crisp combines puffed quinoa, rich dark chocolate, and creamy nut butter to create a delicious and crunchy treat. Perfect for a healthy snack or a quick dessert, these crisps come together in just 40 minutes including chilling time and require no baking.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups puffed quinoa
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (dairy-free if needed)
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • Optional: flaky salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  2. Mix in nut butter: Add the nut butter to the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine with quinoa: Fold the puffed quinoa into the chocolate-nut butter mixture, ensuring the quinoa is evenly coated.
  4. Shape the crisps: For rounds, drop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread evenly. Alternatively, pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper and press down firmly into an even layer.
  5. Add finishing touch: Sprinkle flaky salt on top if desired to enhance flavor.
  6. Chill and set: Place the shaped mixture in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes, or until fully set and firm.
  7. Serve and store: Slice into squares or bars if using the baking dish method, and store the crisps in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use puffed quinoa, not raw quinoa, to ensure the crisp texture.
  • Choose a dairy-free dark chocolate if you want to keep the recipe vegan or dairy-free.
  • Nut butter options include peanut, almond, or cashew based on preference.
  • Flaky salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
  • Store crisps in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
