Puffed Quinoa Balls

• 1 cup puffed quinoa

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 3–4 tbsp agave nectar

• 1 tbsp crushed peanuts (optional, for extra crunch if using smooth PB)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• dark chocolate 
   

Instructions (makes 12 balls)

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, agave and vanilla. If the mixture is too firm, heat it up on the stove a little bit.

2. Add the puffed quinoa (and peanuts, if using), and stir to combine.

3. Place mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes to let it firm up.

4. Remove from fridge, roll into 12 balls, and return to fridge for 15 minutes before serving.

5. Optional: dip some or all of the balls in dark chocolate.
