Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 6 oz high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover for about 15 minutes until absorbed. Allow to cool.
- Melt the chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine cooled quinoa with maple syrup. Pour in melted chocolate and stir until thoroughly coated.
- Form crisps: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the sheet and flatten slightly to form patties.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until firm and slightly crispy around edges.
- Cool and enjoy: Let cool completely on wire racks before serving.
