optional, for melting chocolate
Heat a saucepan over low to medium heat. Add the raw quinoa and stir continuously until you hear popping sounds. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips. For easier melting, you can add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted chocolate and mix well until thoroughly combined with the toasted quinoa.
Line a container with parchment paper. Pour the quinoa mixture onto the parchment paper, spreading it evenly.
Place the container in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm.
Once firm, remove the mixture from the freezer and slice it into individual bars. Enjoy your delicious crunch bars!
For an extra flavour boost, try adding a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate and peanut butter mixture before freezing.
You can substitute peanut butter with any other nut butter like almond or cashew butter for a different flavour profile.
Store leftover crunch bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
