Here’s my 2nd recipe using quinoa in “baking”. Btw, I’m totally making the Banana Quinoa Muffins again this week!! Maya’s been asking for them every day haha 🙂 They disappeared so fast!
The best part of this next recipe is that after you have made a batch of quinoa, the rest is no bake/aka easy!!
Ingredients (Made 15 Balls)
- 1 Cup cooked Quinoa
- 1/2 Cup Almonds
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon shredded lemon rind
- 1 Cup Medjul Dates
- 2 Tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (can get super cheap in the bulk section of a health food store)
Directions
You can do all of it in the Cuisinart. One dish-easy clean up-WIN!!
- Pulse almonds until they are the size of half a grain of rice (or look like quinoa! :))
- Add in Dates, lemon rind, and coconut oil and pulse until mixture clumps together.
- Add in quinoa and pulse a few more times, just to mix it all together.
- Take a heaping Tablespoon and form balls in your hand (mine were about 1.5 inches wide).
- roll in unsweetened coconut and place in the freezer. You can eat them frozen, but they are best after warming up a few minutes.
ENJOY!
