Quinoa & Seeds Chocolate Nests – Healthy Toddler Treats
I love to make already heathy toddler treats even healthier! Thats what I have done with this classic Easter treat with just a few additional ingredients!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup quinoa
- ¼ cup sesame and chia seeds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- 70-80 g Crisp Rice
- 100 g Dark Chocolate Chips
- 12 raspberries
- 12 blueberries
- Sprinkle desiccated coconut to serve
Method
- Start by heating a pan over a medium heat. Pour in the quinoa, and heat until it starts to pop. Stir to evenly spread it around and when it is fully toasted and popped, remove and add to a mixing bowl along with the sesame and chia seeds.
- Pour the sunflower seeds into a pestle and mortar and grind until fine, then add to the bowl.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water, then pour into the seed and rice mixture then stir until fully combined.
- Divide the mixture into 14-16 muffin cases, then press down in the centre to form nests, then refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
- To serve fill the nests with raspberries and blueberries. For smaller kids squash the blueberries to make them safer. Then sprinkle over a little desiccated coconut.
