These crispy quinoa peanut butter balls are a delightful blend of crunchy puffed quinoa and creamy peanut butter, drizzled with chocolate. This easy peanut butter quinoa balls recipe makes for a healthy no-bake snack that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup puffed quinoa
- ½ cup crunchy natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Pinch flaky salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup puffed quinoa and ½ cup natural peanut butter. Mix well until the quinoa is evenly coated and holds together.
- Scoop out 12 rounded tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly in between, until fully smooth.
- Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate over each ball, letting the chocolate set naturally. For an extra touch, sprinkle each ball with a pinch of flaky salt (if desired).
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for approximately 30 minutes, or until the balls are firm and the chocolate drizzle is completely set.
