1 Cup cooked Quinoa
1 Cup Quinoa Flour
1/2 Cup Nutella
1 TBSP Almond Extract
1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup Dried Raisins or Cherries
Substitutions/Options:
• Add 1/2 Cup died nuts to match the nut butter
• Substitute Peanut Butter, Cashew Butter, or Walnut Butter for the Almond Butter
• Use 1 Cup Uncooked Oats or Flax Seed Meal rather than 1/2 cup of each
• Omit Nutella and use 1 cup of Dark Chocolate Chips
• Use MILK chocolate for a sweeter flavor
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine dry ingredients
3. Add wet ingredients one at a time to fully incorporate
4. Line a cookie tray with parchment or non-stick foil, or use muffin “skirts”
5. Create “Balls” of your desired size or place in muffin tins
6. Cook small bite-sized balls or mini-muffins for 20-30 minutes and larger sized bites or muffins for 30-45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center with 10 minutes remaining to check on progress. Adjust cooking time accordingly. You know they are done when the toothpick inserted in the thickest portion comes out clean!
