No-Bake Chocolate Quinoa Crunch Clusters are a quick, healthy, and irresistibly crunchy treat made with puffed quinoa and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for snacking, gifting, or satisfying a sweet craving.

Ingredients

  • Puffed Quinoa: 2 cups – adds crisp texture and a subtle nuttiness.
  • Dark Chocolate Chips: 1 ½ cups – brings rich, decadent chocolate flavor.
  • Coconut Oil: 1 tablespoon – smooths out the chocolate and gives a glossy finish.
  • Maple Syrup (optional): 1 tablespoon – for a touch of added sweetness.
  • Sea Salt: ¼ teaspoon – enhances chocolate and balances the flavors.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – adds depth and warmth.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: No need to preheat the oven, but line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have your spoon or scoop ready.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over puffed quinoa in a large mixing bowl. Fold until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Place the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the clusters are firm and set.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once firm, remove from the fridge and transfer to an airtight container.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temperature. Crunchy, chocolaty, and totally addictive!

Notes
