Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup roasted salted sunflower seeds
  • ⅔ cup roasted salted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
  • 2 TBS maple syrup
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Mix with the sunflower seeds and pepitas. Drizzle with maple syrup and stir to evenly coat.
  3. Spray a silicone muffin pan or muffin pan liners with oil and divide the seed mixture among 12 cups, pressing slightly to compact, about 2 TBS per muffin cup.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. They will still be soft to the touch but will firm up when cooled. Remove the seed bites from the oven and turn off the oven.
  5. Let the seed bites cool for 20-30 minutes on the counter then remove the seed bites from the silicone. Add chocolate chips to each silicone cup and place in the oven (it should still be turned off, but slightly warm from the previous bake) until the chocolate chips are soft, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and put the seed bites back into the cups, pressing slightly, and transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.
  6. Remove the chocolate seed bites from the silicone cups and keep refrigerated so that the chocolate stays firm.
Notes
Prep time includes the amount of time it takes for the bites to cool, and the chocolate to set.
