Chocolate Quinoa Bites

Vegan, Oil-free, Gluten-free, No Added Sugar, No-bake

Total: 15 min, Yields: 34

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
1 cup dates, chopped
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup dark vegan chocolate, either chips or chopped
crushed almonds, cocoa powder, or unsweetened shredded coconut for coating, as needed

Instructions:

Soak the chopped dates in hot water for about an hour.
Once soaked, pour out the soaking water and process the dates in a blender. It does not have to be a smooth paste, some pieces are ok.
Add the almond butter to the dates and process again until combined. Scoop into a large bowl. Set aside.
Place the quinoa in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup or a microwave-safe container, and microwave for 2 minutes.
Add the chocolate and stir until completely melted. Microwave for another 10 seconds, if needed.
Add the quinoa-chocolate mixture to the date-almond butter paste in the bowl.
Put the cocoa powder, crushed almonds, or coconut for coating into shallow containers.
Scoop out about half a tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls.
Coat and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
