Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup refined coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup puffed quinoa
  • Sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, agave nectar, natural peanut butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Fold in Quinoa: Gently fold the puffed quinoa into the wet mixture, ensuring even distribution without crushing the quinoa.
  3. Scoop onto Baking Sheet: Using a cookie scooper, drop about 12 equal mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Flatten the Crisps: With clean fingers, gently press the tops of each mound to flatten them out into disc shapes for even chilling and crispness.
  5. Chill until Hardened: Place the tray in the refrigerator or freezer for 1 hour or until the crisps have fully set and hardened.
  6. Add Finishing Touch: Once firm, sprinkle each crisp with a light pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor contrast.
  7. Store Properly: Transfer the crisps to an airtight bag or container and keep them refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • To achieve a flat bottom and shape, ensure the coconut oil mixture is warm and fluid before scooping. If it starts to stiffen during mixing, briefly reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Store the crisps in the fridge as they can soften at room temperature due to the coconut oil content.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
