Ingredients

1/2 cup refined coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup cocoa powder (Cacao v. Cocoa Powder: What’s the Difference?)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup puffed quinoa

Cuisine

chocolate

Steps

Gather and measure your ingredients.
Add the melted coconut oil, agave nectar, cocoa powder, and vanilla to a medium bowl.
Whisk until smooth.
Pour the puffed quinoa into the bowl.
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the puffed quinoa and coat it with the chocolate mixture.
Use a cookie scooper to scoop about 8 mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If the mixture is chilly, it will harden and be difficult to scoop. Microwave it for about 10 seconds to loosen up the batter if needed.
Use your fingers to gently press the tops to flatten them out.
Pop in the fridge or freezer for 1 hour until harden.
Enjoy immediately or transfer to a bag or container to store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat!

I usually don't comment on recipes I have not tried, but United served these on a recent flight from Zurich and I absolutely fell in love with the taste. I cannot wait to make these.

Easy to make but after looking at the nutrition list...not very healthy. I wonder if the oil can be cut back.
