I love Pinterest. Recently I took an unaware hiatus from Pinterest. When I realized what happened, I spent the next few days catching up.
One recipe I repinned about a month ago got me on the look out for quinoa puffs. I hadn't seen them in any store and looked briefly online. Life got busy - which is really saying life was normal - I forgot about them, and the recipe was lost on my extensive food board.
Before our trip to Nova Scotia, I spent hours at Whole Foods gathering food for my girls to take to Nana and Papa's and snacks for Mike and I. While searching the oatmeal and cereal aisle, hiding down on the bottom shelf, peeking up at me, were the elusive quinoa puffs. I sent the bag on with my kids and it came back unopened because quite frankly no one knew what to do with them.
That's about to change!! Inspired by recipe on blog "Mama Eats Clean".
Quinoa Puff Balls
1 C quinoa puffs
1/4 c buckwheat groats
2 T mixed raw pumpkin and sunflower seeds
2 T unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 C plus 2 T sunflower seed butter
3 T maple syrup
1 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
2 T Enjoy Life allergy free chocolate chips ( unless of course your my daughter and intolerant to chocolate so every recipe is split)
Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl. Combine sunflower seed butter, maple syrup and vanilla in small pot stir on low heat just until combined nicely and melted. Pour nut butter mixture to dry bowl. Mix well. Add chocolate chips.
Roll into 2 T balls. Chill in fridge until kids can't wait any longer.
