Delicious and crunchy Quinoa Crunch Peanut Butter Cups combine a rich dark chocolate layer with a creamy, naturally sweetened peanut butter filling and crispy quinoa crisps for a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp quinoa crisps

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Start by adding dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well after each until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix Chocolate Layer: Stir in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of quinoa crisps into the melted chocolate, then set the mixture aside.
  3. Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup, then gently fold in the coconut flour until the mixture thickens and holds its shape.
  4. Assemble Cups: Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into a silicone cupcake liner. Roll 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into a ball and slightly flatten it. Place it in the center of the chocolate layer, making sure it does not touch the liner’s sides.
  5. Top and Freeze: Cover the peanut butter filling with remaining chocolate mixture. Place the cups in the freezer and chill until completely firm.
  6. Serve: Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the liners and enjoy your crunchy, chocolatey treat!

Notes

  • Use silicone cupcake liners for easy removal and to avoid sticking.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the maple syrup in the peanut butter filling.
  • If unavailable, puffed quinoa or rice crisps can substitute quinoa crisps.
  • Store finished peanut butter cups in the freezer or refrigerator to maintain firmness.
