Ingredients
Dark chocolate
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 cup quinoa crisps
Instructions
Line 12 mini cupcake liners with parchment paper
Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat
Stir in 1/2 cup quinoa crisps directly into the melted chocolate
Pour 2 tablespoons of chocolate mixture into each mold to form the base layer
In a separate bowl, combine crushed quinoa with coconut flour
Blend in peanut butter and maple syrup until smooth
Scoop 1 tablespoon of the filling into each mold
Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling
Chill for at least 2 hours until firm
Notes
Use 70% cacao for deeper chocolate flavor
Substitute honey for maple syrup if preferred
Pre-roasted quinoa crisps or rice krispies work equally well
Chill thoroughly for optimal texture and stability
