Almond Joy Quinoa Bites

August 05, 2014

These are by far my favorite breakfast treat. Protein packed quinoa, and dark chocolate make these a healthier alternative to traditional muffins.

• 1 ½ cups cooked quinoa*
• ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup flour ( I use whole wheat, but any type should work)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 egg (beaten)
• ¼ cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
• ¼ cup coarsely chopped almonds

Lightly grease a mini muffin pan, and preheat oven to 325. Mix quinoa and dry ingredients (up to egg) in a medium bowl. Add egg. Stir in chocolate and almonds. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Muffins are done...
