Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup Earth Echo Cacao Bliss (or cocoa powder)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup quinoa puffs
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, Earth Echo Cacao Bliss, maple syrup, vanilla paste, and salt. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Quinoa Puffs: Gently fold the quinoa puffs into the peanut butter and cacao mixture, being careful not to crush the puffs to maintain their crunch.
- Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop golf ball-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into round bite-sized balls using the palms of your hands.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the bites immediately, or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 10 days to keep them fresh and maintain texture.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best consistency; natural peanut butter may make the mixture grainy.
- If Earth Echo Cacao Bliss is unavailable, unsweetened cocoa powder is a suitable substitute.
- For a firmer bite, refrigerate the mixture for 10–15 minutes before shaping.
- These bites are best stored in the refrigerator to keep their shape and texture.
- Perfect as a quick energy snack or a healthy dessert alternative.
