Whip up 4Ingredient Puffed Quinoa Cups for crunchy wholesome bitescraveworthy snacks that fuel your day and spark portable meal prep today
Ingredients
- Puffed quinoa — 2 cups
- Natural peanut butter — 1/2 cup
- Pure maple syrup — 1/3 cup
- Dairy-free dark chocolate chips — 1/3 cup (plus a few extra for topping)
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tin with silicone liners or lightly grease with a neutral oil.
- In a small saucepan over very low heat, gently warm the peanut butter and maple syrup together, stirring until glossy and smooth. The aroma should be toasty and inviting, with the two ingredients melding into one sweet, nutty scent.
- Remove from heat and stir in the puffed quinoa and half of the chocolate chips until the mixture looks cohesive and slightly glossy.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin cups. Press firmly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to compact, so the cups don’t crumble when you bite into them. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for a glossy, inviting finish.
- Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes, or pop in the freezer for 10 minutes if you’re in a hurry. They should hold a firm shape and feel cool to the touch when ready.
