These easy No-Bake Fudgy Quinoa-Chia Bites are a fudgy bite of chocolate heaven.  They are naturally sweetened and loaded with healthful ingredients like quinoa, chia seeds, cacao powder and any nut or seed butter.  They are soy-free, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and peanut-free with a nut-free option.

No-Bake Fudgy Quinoa-Chia Bites

crispy quinoa

cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder*

maple syrup

any unsalted nut almond

chia seeds

vanilla extract

fine grain salt

Line a small baking sheet or any flat surface with wax or parchment paper.

Add all ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.

Use a 1.5 tablespoon retractable scoop to create tiny bite-sized spoonfuls and place onto the lined baking sheet (9-10 total). Place baking sheet on a flat surface in the freezer and allow to set for 3 hours until bites are fully hardened. I usually leave overnight and enjoy the next day.

Enjoy straight out of the freezer. The fudgy bites will start to soften at room temperature after about 7-10 minutes. I typically take them out one at a time and enjoy immediately.

I think about these at least 400 times a day. Probably my favorite dessert ever. Easy to make, delicious, and unique

What a delicious recipe that everyone enjoyed!! Will make them again!

What a delicious little after dinner treat.And so easy to make.Will defiantly be making these again

I made these with puffed quinoa and peanut butter, so delicious! Will be making over and over again, thanks for the recipe!

Absolutely delicious! Is there anything that quinoa can’t do? This tastes like brownies! Thanks you Elaine! Hopping over to share my pics on Instagram. Btw I only tried them right out of the mixing bowl. Can’t wait to try them hardened out of the freezer!

I made these right away.  I added unsweetened coconut flakes in to the mix and added dry cranberries to the top of each drop.  They are delicious! I may try making it with oatmeal or added a nut to the top.

These are sooooo dang delicious!! I used crunchy peanut butter and… yum!!!

Love these quinoa chia bites so much, I could it them every day! thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipie. I was born in Bolivia and as a child we used to eat a lot of quinoa.

So good and easy to make!  Thank you Elaine.

WOW!!!! Amazing. I used silan tahini (tahini goddess) to replace the nut butter used 3 ‘tbs of maple syrup, prob could use even less since silan tahini is sweet. I sprinkled some PB powder and Nufyx protein powder too. Just popped them in the freezer can’t wait to try a full one instead of licking all my spoons I used !!!

I love these and whenever I’ve shared them with my friends they always say it tastes kind of like an Oreo!

Delish! Made it few times already. Simple and tasty.

Thank you so much for this - it answered the question "what sweet thing can I make with leftover quinoa" but now I make extra just for this. I have used almond butter, peanut butter, and tahini, all delicious. And I use date syrup instead of maple. I usually triple it and have passed the recipe on many times. Such a good thing to grab from the freezer when you need a substantial quick bite.

Oh. My. Gosh.  Made these Quinoa-Chia Bites tonight, and I am hooked!! They are sooooo crazy good! I used puffed quinoa, organic raw cacao powder (both from Nuts.com) and my homemade nut butter (only almonds and peanuts). Thankfully made a double batch (had a feeling I would love them). Cannot thank you enough for sharing this awesome recipe! :)

Update to previous comment: My husband and I are absolutely addicted to these...!! Have made them both with cooked and puffed quinoa, and both are awesome. I always make a double batch, and keep a container of them in the freezer. I tried something different tonight for fun - after reading some of Carleigh Bodrug's Scrappy recipes, I decided to add a tablespoon of spent (used) coffee grounds to this Quinoa/Chia recipe. OMG - mind blown!!! :)

So so so yummy. I only eat alkaline and am currently 15 weeks pregnant. I was craving a rich snack! I have to say, it didn’t make it to the freezer though, I ate it right after mixing. Tasted just like brownie batter. Thank you😊

Delicious!   We’ve made them several times now, tried different butters and used honey.  All ways are so good!

I tried this recipe with reservations.   To my surprise they were really good.  I have made them twice now.  I did modify a bit .  Used honey and added some walnuts and coconut.  They are delicious!  Thank you for the recipe!
