  • Silicon dog bone mold (Optional)

Ingredients

  • 2 c quinoa, cooked, room temperature (1/2 c uncooked quinoa, 1c water, cooked 2 hours in HOTLOGIC®)
  • 1 T coconut oil, melted
  • 1 T maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 T chia seeds
  • 1/2 t cinnamon
  • 1/2 can pumpkin puree (7.5 oz)

Instructions

  • In heat safe dish cook 1/2 c uncooked quinoa and 1c water for 2 hours in HOTLOGIC®. Makes 2 cups. Remove and cool to room temperature about an hour.
  • Melt coconut oil in heat safe container in HOTLOGIC®.
  • In medium size bowl combine oil, maple syrup, chia seed and cinnamon.
  • Add quinoa and puree to mixture and mix well. Let set for 5 minutes for chia seeds to absorb moisture and form gel.
  • Method I: On heat safe cooking surface such as aluminum, parchment paper or grill mat place mixture. Use a butter knife to smooth and form a rectangle that is 1/3" high and leaves a 1/2" around the edge of the cooking surface. Cut 12-16 squares into the mixture.
  • Method 2: Pack mixture into silicon mold.
  • For Method I place a paper towel down first on the HOTLOGIC® hot plate. Then place the prepared mixture on cooking surface. Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip shut.
  • For Method II the mold can be place directly on the HOTLOGIC® hot plate. The silicon will heat up and distribute the heat. Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip shut.
  • Place the remaining mixture in an airtight container and store in refrigerator until ready to bake.
  • Bake for 9 hours if the mixture is 1/3" thick, 12 hours if 1/2" thick or until crunchy. The biscuits in the silicon mold may need to be dumped on a paper towel on the plate to finish crisping. The treats may crisp more after cooling.
