Cooking Time:
Zero
Ingredients:
5 pitted Medjool dates
3/4 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons drippy peanut butter
2½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon brewed coffee (optional)
Instructions:
If you don’t enjoy quinoa in your salad here is an easy recipe for adding this superfood into your diet. The Quinoa Truffles from Chef Carleigh Bodrug from @plantyou make a delicious protein-packed snack.
Place the dates in a bowl of hot water and allow them to soften, for about 5 minutes.
Drain, saving the water for another recipe.
In a food processor, combine the dates, quinoa, ground flaxseed, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and coffee.
Process until a smooth batter is formed.
Using a teaspoon and your hands, form from 8 to 12 truffles of about 1/2-inch diameter.
Roll them on additional cocoa powder if desired.
Enjoy!
