Quinoa Sweet Dumplings
Quinoa is one of the best-known superfoods that has been gaining popularity in recent years as an alternative to traditional flour-based dishes. Quinoa sweet dumplings are an innovative way to replace grains and create a gluten-free, naturally based dessert.

This recipe is especially recommended for those who are sensitive to wheat or simply want a more health-conscious dessert. The technique is simple, the dumplings are easy to shape, and can even be steamed instead of fried if you are looking for a more diet-friendly option. This dish is ideal as a snack, a sweet treat for guests, or even a special breakfast.

Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, rice flour, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add coconut milk until you have a soft, pliable dough that is not too sticky. Tip: Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the rice flour to absorb the moisture.
2
Prepare the filling: mix the date paste with vanilla extract. Tip: If the paste is too thick, add a little coconut milk to thin it for easier handling.
3
Shape the quinoa dough into small balls, flatten the center, add a small amount of filling, then seal and reshape into dumplings. Tip: Wet hands will prevent the dough from sticking and make shaping easier.
4
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the dumplings until golden brown on all sides. Tip: Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
5
Remove the dumplings and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with fruit puree. Tip: Instead of powdered sugar, sprinkle with a little shredded coconut before serving.
