Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked white quinoa
• ½ cup old fashioned oats
• ¼ cup peanuts
• ¼ cup hemp seeds
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 4 tbsp coconut oil
• 3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• 12 oz. dark chocolate

Directions

• 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 thats 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.
• Pour mixture onto a nonstick baking sheet, using the spatula to spread everything out evenly.
• Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. If the edges are slightly golden in color, youre good. If theyre not, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Melt chocolate and the other 2 tbsp coconut oil together in the microwave or over the stovetop, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted.
• Pour chocolate overtop of brittle, moving the pan around so the chocolate spreads evenly.
• Place baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes so chocolate can harden.
• Remove from freezer, move baking sheet around so the brittle breaks a bit, and then use a knife or your hands to break the rest of the brittle into pieces.
• Enjoy!
