INGREDIENTS:
• 1/3 cup quinoa /uncooked
• 1 cup dates, pitted /10-12
• 1/3 cup almonds
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup/honey
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• Cocoa powder – optional
• pistachio powder – optional
• shredded coconut – optional
PREPARATION:
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spread quinoa out on a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes, until toasted and golden.
• Check after 6 minutes to make sure they don’t burn. (You can even roast it on stovetop for 15 min on low flame)
• In a food processor, combine the dates, almonds, and cocoa powder.
• Add maple syrup and pulse it a few times, then blend on high for a few minutes until the mixture is in small uniform bits as pictured above. The mixture will be ‘doughy.’
• Add the maple syrup and blend for 10 seconds until it is evenly mixed.
• Take some of the dough in your hand. If it firmly sticks together, proceeds with the rest of the recipe. If it is crumbly, add another tablespoon of maple syrup and blend again.
• Add the toasted quinoa and pulse it a few times to mix it through.
• Remove it to a bowl. Make whatever shape you desire.
• You can be creative and make them look more attractive by rolling them in cocoa powder, pistachio powder, shredded coconut.. etc.
