Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup white quinoa
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons flax seeds
- 1/2 cup raw hazelnuts, chopped, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup raw pecans, chopped, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- 16 oz. dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
- 2 tablespoons cocoa nibs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium, microwave safe bowl, combine the honey and coconut oil and microwave for about 30 seconds, until melted. Stir well to combine.
- Add the quinoa, salt, seeds, nuts, instant coffee and turbinado. Stir to evenly coat all of the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
- Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread into an thin, even layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bark is golden in color and the nuts smell toasty. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack while you prepare the chocolate.
- To melt the chocolate, place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the baked quinoa and spread into an even layer. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with remaining nuts, toasted coconut and cocoa nibs.
- Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
