Peanut Butter Quinoa Brittle

Craving a healthy snack? This Peanut Butter Quinoa Brittle is made with quinoa, peanuts, peanut butter, coconut oil, and dark chocolate and is ready in under 30 minutes!

This recipe was 100 percent inspired by Minimalist Baker’s quinoa brittle, which is beyond brilliant in my opinion. I thought, YES, I NEED a peanut butter version of that right.now.

I like to think of this peanut butter quinoa brittle as a fun and healthier spin on traditional peanut brittle.

It’s made from uncooked quinoa (gotta have that crunch!), peanuts, oats, hemp and chia seeds for an added nutritional kick, coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup. If you want to keep this vegan, use maple syrup, but if not, I personally preferred the taste of honey. Honey+PB are a perfect match!

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked white quinoa
• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup peanuts
• 1/4 cup hemp seeds
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 4 tbsp coconut oil
• 3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 12 oz. dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil, honey (or syrup) and peanut butter in a saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.

While that’s heating up, combine quinoa, oats, peanuts, hemp seeds, and chia seeds together in a large bowl.

Once peanut butter has melted, pour mixture overtop of dry ingredients and use a spatula to stir everything together.
