Pumpkin Seed Chocolate Bites
These pumpkin seed chocolate bites make a great snack or healthier dessert. Made with only 4 ingredients and so simple to put together. A great one to make in advance to nibble on in between meals, or to take on the go with you when out and about. They taste amazing and have the most beautiful crunch!
Ingredients
- 200 g pumpkin seeds
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 50 g dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/350F.
- Add the pumpkin seeds, maple syrup and a pinch of salt to to a bowl. Mix to coat all the seeds evenly.
- Option 1 - Place a lightly oiled round cookie cutter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon a couple of teaspoons of the mixture into the cutter and press down. Gently remove the cutter and repeat.
- Option 2 - If you don't have a cookie cutter, simply spoon some of the mixture straight onto the lined baking sheet to make clusters instead.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Leave to cool completely to set.
- Once cooled you can dip them or coat them in chocolate. Or a mixture of both!
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set and enjoy!
Notes
If the rounds lose their shape once out of the oven, you can place a larger cookie cutter over them and gently swirl in a circular motion to nudge the edges inward. Or simply tidy with a spoon while they're still warm/before the maple syrup cools down and hardens.
I used a medium round cookie cutter to shape them and ended up with 10 bites. You can use any size cookie cutter depending on how many you want/how big you would like them to be. Just bear in mind that the nutritional breakdown is based on 10 servings.
