Ingredients
- 200g sunflower seeds
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 60g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180C (350F) to prepare for baking the sunflower seed mixture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the sunflower seeds, a pinch of salt, and maple syrup until the seeds are evenly coated and the mixture is well-mixed.
- Shape Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and either press the sunflower seed mixture into cookie cutters for shaped bites or spoon the mixture directly onto the sheet in small mounds.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color, indicating they are cooked and slightly toasted.
- Cool and Chocolate: Allow the bites to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, melt the dark chocolate and dip or drizzle it over the sunflower seed bites to add a rich chocolate coating.
Notes
- Ensure the bites are completely cool before adding the melted chocolate to prevent melting and spreading.
- You can use cookie cutters for uniform bite shapes or simply spoon the mixture for a more rustic look.
- Store the bites in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
- These bites make a great on-the-go snack and are perfect for a quick energy boost.
