1 cup puffed quinoa Use puffed quinoa for the right texture.
1 cup dark chocolate chips Use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan option.
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Maple syrup can be used as a vegan substitute.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Start by gathering all your ingredients: puffed quinoa, dark chocolate chips, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Mix in the puffed quinoa, sweetener (honey or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined.
Carefully coat all the quinoa with the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls.
Arrange the chocolate-covered quinoa bites on a parchment-lined tray with space between each for setting.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Once set, enjoy your Gluten-Free Chocolate Quinoa Bites!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Can freeze by layering with parchment paper.
